Ahead of UN vote, debate in Israel over threatening Iran - Haaretz - Israel News:

"Senior defense ministry official Amos Gilad, appearing to counter a warning by Vice Premier Shimon Peres that 'Iran, too, can be destroyed,' said Tuesday that Israel should not use a language of threats in dealing with Tehran.

Major-General Gilad said Israel should not place itself in the front-lines of the Iran issue.

'Israel does not need to spearhead treatment on the Iran matter because this is a world problem. We suggest not adopting a language of threats. It is tremendously important for the world to isolate Hamas and it is tremendously important to isolate Iran,' said Gilad."
