Likud party activist Lior Harari has revealed an initiative to nominate Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the Nobel Peace Prize over the success of his policy towards Iran.
“I believe everyone must thank Netanyahu for revealing the plot of a country that threatens the entire enlightened world,” Harari was quoted as saying last week.
Harari sent a letter to Israeli Nobel winners, asking them to nominate Netanyahu for the prize.
Asked why Netanyahu deserved the prize, he said: “Giving it to him would be giving it to the Mossad and others involved as well."
“Netanyahu has been leading the issue internationally for decades. He even got the Arab world to wake up and realize what a problem they have.”
Harari noted that Netanyahu’s first speech to Congress warning the world to take action to stop Iran’s nuclearization was not in March 2015 but in July 1996.
"The 1996 speech showed that he is decades ahead of the world,” Harari said. “Others don’t open an umbrella until it starts raining.”
“He gets the umbrella years in advance and then gets the evidence to persuade the skeptics.”
