Israeli PM says world must act against Iran as it’s currently acting against Libya

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appealed Tuesday for strong international action against Iran similar to the pressure on the Libyan regime.

Netanyahu claimed that the world must act against Iran as it is currently acting against Libya. He said the world needs to send a message to the people of Libya that they have support in their struggle against ruler Muammar Gaddafi - a message that would be heard in Iran.

Netanyahu said an aggressive response against Gaddafi will send a clear message of encouragement and hope to the Iranian people that nobody has forgotten them, adding that those same steps must be directed at Iran.
