JFNA Report
T
he release of a new report from
the International Atomic Energy
Agency that says Iran has been
working to develop a nuclear weapon since
2003 came as leaders of Israel and the United
States got together at one of the largest annu-
al gatherings of the North American Jewish
community — the Jewish Federations of
North America's (JFNA) General Assembly in
Denver to discuss global Jewish issues.
"Nuclear weapons, held by a radical and
extreme regime, calling for the destruc-
tion of the State of Israel, are unacceptable.
This cannot be allowed',' said Shaul Mofaz,
head of the Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee of Israel's Knesset."Israel must
be prepared to deal militarily with the
Iranian nuclear issue. But I believe that this
option should be used when all else fails."
Mofaz, who has 36 years of experience
in the Israel Defense Forces, culminating
in his appointment as chief of general staff
with the rank of brigadier general, spoke
in an open session to participants at the
Jewish Federations of North America's 2011
General Assembly, this year in Denver.
The burden of preventing a nuclear Iran
must not be Israel's alone, Mofaz added.
"The international community, led by
the United States, has to do everything
— and I stress everything — within its
power to stop the Iranian nuclear pro-
gram. This is the acid test of President
Obama's foreign policy,' he said.
Last year at the Jewish Federations' 2010
General Assembly in New Orleans, the
JFNA!s board of trustees passed a resolu-
tion condemning Iran's pursuit of nuclear
weapons and urging international sanc-
tions to ease the threat.
JFNA is also advocating in Washington
to protect international sanctions against
Iran from attempts in the Congress to
bypass them.
"The threat of a nuclear-armed Iran
is a matter of the gravest concern and
utmost urgency — not just to Israel,
but to the United States, Canada and the
entire world:' said William Daroff, vice
president for public policy and director
of the Washington office of the Jewish
Federations of North America.
"We applaud the efforts of the Obama
administration and congressional lead-
ers to ensure that the world knows that a
nuclear Iran is not an option. The report is
a wake-up call that we cannot give an inch
and must do everything possible to pre-
vent the regime in Tehran from developing
a nuclear weapons capacity."
