PM Sharon calls Iran "the main threat to Israel" and has recently expressed concern that some states are "getting used to" the idea of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. Other senior Israeli officials echo this, cautioning that Tehran's nuclear weapons program poses what Mossad Chief Meir Dagan calls an "existential threat" that alters the strategic balance in the region.
¶15. (C) The Israelis realize that Iran would use any military strike as an excuse to cease cooperation with the EU-3 and the IAEA. In addition, the GOI is acutely aware of Iran's ability to retaliate, both militarily and through attacks by its regional surrogates. PM Sharon has claimed that Hizballah has 11,000 rockets (and possibly UAVs) capable of reaching Israel from launching sites in Lebanon. The MFA's office director for the Gulf states said that she believed that Iran would retaliate by inciting terrorist groups in Israel and the Occupied Territories.
¶6. (S) The Israelis often express disappointment with EU-3 efforts, but see no real alternative at this time. PM Sharon told reporters on March 10 that Iran uses the negotiations to "play for time." In private, Sharon, his Cabinet, and military leaders have all complained that the Europeans are "too soft." Similarly, President Katsav has cautioned that Iran will "cheat" on any commitments it makes. MFA staff told poloff that they do not believe that the EU-3 effort will be successful in obtaining a permanent suspension or that the Europeans will support effective sanctions against Iran.
Israel's prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu is "elegant and charming" but never keeps his promises, according to a cable from Cairo recounting a meeting with President Hosni Mubarak, who added: "I have told him so personally".

Very good. It pretty much looks like this has proven to be a hoax thread with the evidence shown above!
More evidence to show this thread is a hoax
