Iran war: Israel's president Herzog calls 'cost' for business the price for Middle East peace
CNBC
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said the war against Iran is enabling people there "to rise up" against its repressive ruling regime.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog told a group of U.S. business leaders at the Yale CEO caucus meeting on Tuesday that he understands their concerns about the costs of the war against Iran, but argued it is a necessary price for a "better horizon for the Middle East."
Herzog called the war, which the United States and Israel launched on Feb. 28, "a big moment for the region," which has effectively united against Iran and its policy of terror.
"You want a different future for the Middle East," Herzog said at the event in Washington, speaking remotely by video. "For the first time, we're operating together ... a NATO-like structure, because we are all bombarded by Iran, and we're all fighting against Iran."
