    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Thursday, 23 January 2014), in Davos, made the following remarks:

    "Rouhani is continuing with the Iranian show of deception.

    At a time when Rouhani condemns the killing of innocents, dozens of innocents were recently executed in Iran.

    At a time when Rouhani talks about a positive approach to technology, he prevents Iranians from freely surfing the Internet.

    At a time when Rouhani talks about peace with the countries of the Middle East, he refuses – even today – to recognize the existence of the State of Israel, and his regime daily calls for the destruction of the State of Israel.

    At a time when Rouhani claims that Iran is not interested in a nuclear project for military purposes, Iran continues to strengthen its centrifuges and heavy water reactor, and to arm itself with intercontinental missiles, the sole purpose of which is for nuclear weapons.

    Rouhani has admitted that a decade ago, he deceived the West in order to advance the Iranian nuclear program. He is doing this today as well. The goal of the Iranian ayatollahs' regime, which is hiding behind Rouhani's smiles, is to ease sanctions without conceding on their program to produce nuclear weapons.

    Therefore, the international community must not go astray after this deception, and it must prevent Iran from attaining the ability to produce nuclear weapons."
