Israeli minister Nir Barkat told National Review that Israel, the U.S., and the rest of the West must confront the terrorist axis led by Iran and Qatar — and that the Iranian regime should be attacked.

“Iran is the leading, evil jihadi alliance. Qatar is a huge player there; people underestimate their part in an evil alliance with Iran,” he said, calling Doha the largest funder of terror around the world.
