    Survey: majority of Israeli Jews support attack on Iran

    JERUSALEM, May 4 (Xinhua) -- About 66 percent of Israeli Jews support a military action aimed at destroying Iran's controversial nuclear facilities, said a survey carried by local daily Ha'aretz Monday.

    According to the survey sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League, when asked about Israeli army's military action against Iran, 66 percent of the polled said they approved of it, 15 percent said they were opposed and 19 percent said they did not know.

    The poll, co-sponsored by the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan University, revealed that a large majority of those who support a move by Israeli army said they would maintain their support even if the U.S. Obama administration opposed it.

    Among those who said they favored an army action, 15 percent said they would change their minds if the United States opposed it, while 75 percent said they would not. The rest said they did not know or gave other answers.

    The United States and Israel have accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program, but Iran has repeatedly denied the allegations, insisting that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

    Turning to Israeli-U.S. relations, an overwhelming majority of the surveyed Israeli Jews said they believed close relations with the United States were essential for ensuring Israel's security. ..

      Israeli hawk forms 'Iran Committee'

      4 May [PressTV] Israel's hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formed a special committee to review all options against 'Iran's nuclear threat'.

      The committee which brings together Israeli cabinet ministers and senior echelons in the Israeli government will hold several meetings per week to discuss the latest developments regarding Iran, Haaretz reported.

      Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon and Mossad chief Meir Dagan are among the committee's members.

      The formation of the committee comes ahead of Netanyahu's planned visit to Washington later this month.

      During his talks with US President Barack Obama, "Iran's nuclear threat" is expected to be top on agenda.

      The new right-wing Israeli government has repeatedly voiced its willingness to halt what it calls the Iranian nuclear threat through military action. ....
