Sharon didn't agree to such an option. He said at the time that international diplomacy was the appropriate course.<BR/><BR/>I read in <A HREF="http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/692360.html<br/>" REL="nofollow">an article in Haaretz</A> that<BR/>last Thursday Former Israel Defense Forces chief of staff Moshe Ya'alon said that Israel has a military option to counter the Iranian threat. But Former Israel Air Force commander Major General (Res.) Eitan Ben-Eliyahu said that Ya'alon's comments could lead other countries to withdraw responsibility and let Israel defend itself. <BR/><BR/>"If we emphasize too much, express ourselves too much, it frees the international community [of responsibility]," he told Israel Radio. "Our major achievement, from a military perspective and from a political perspective, is that an international coalition has been created that understands and comprehends that Iran's nuclear development must be stopped."<BR/><BR/>Therefore this was the motive behind Sharon refusal in December to consider a pre-emptive attack: the Iran nuclear issue should be dealt on an international level and Israel won't gain in presenting it as its security issue only.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
