IDF's Deputy Chief of Staff: "...Iran 2010 is the leading threat to Israel's security ..."

EJN (European Jewish News) here
"... One of the highlights of the first night at the Herzliya Conference was the speech carried by Major General Benny Gantz, the Israeli army’s Deputy chief of staff, and the prominent runner-up to take office instead of Gabi Ashkenazi, the current chief of staff....
Iran, according to Gantz, would become in 2010 the leading threat to Israel's security... “We will have the counter response for this challenge”, he said. In a reference to the Goldstone report on the war in Gaza, which he called a “Trojan Horse”, Gantz said that “we should investigate the problematics of the reports on crimes that were allegedly-executed by the IDF soldiers, yet it cannot be a paralyzing process for Israel's stand in front of terrorists.”
