An attack on Iran might, however, produce precisely the effect that Netanyahu seeks to avoid. Post-war global diplomacy might have to promote, perhaps more robustly than ever, the creation a nuclear-weapons-free zone in the Middle East, and thus address Israel’s nuclear capabilities, as well as the Palestinian problem – issues that Netanyahu has worked hard to ignore.
攻击伊朗可能会恰恰产生内塔尼亚胡力求避免的效果。战后全球外交可能比以往更加强劲地促进中东核武器自由区的建立，因而考虑解处理以色列核能力，解决巴勒斯坦问题，这些正是内塔尼亚胡一直以来努力逃避的问题。
