Israel's Netanyahu Says He'd 'Consider' A Meeting With New Iranian Leader
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered some rare, if fleeting, hope Thursday in regard to his country's relationship with Iran.
In an interview with Morning Edition's Steve Inskeep, he said the election of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani "might" offer an opportunity for diplomacy and that he would "consider" meeting him.
"I don't care about the meeting. I don't have a problem with the diplomatic process," Netanyahu said.
"You're saying you would meet him?" Steve asked.
"I haven't been offered. If I'm offered, I'd consider it, but it's not an issue. If I meet with these people I'd stick this question in their face: Are you prepared to dismantle your program completely? Because you can't stay with the [nuclear] enrichment."
