MSNBC's Velshi: Netanyahu Has 'Used' Saying Iran Is a Threat to Avoid Domestic Issues

During MSNBC's coverage of the explosions in Iran, host Ali Velshi stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has "used" Iran "to not deal with a lot of domestic issues, in terms of saying, Iran is the existential threat to Israel." Although he acknowledged that "Iran helps" Netanyahu's case "by saying, on a regular basis, that it would like to be the existential threat to Israel."
