I don't think he "stumbled" at all. I think he was sending a message to Iran. But the Jew hating press always fails to see the subtleties.
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - In an apparent slip of the tongue on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Israel as a nuclear power before correcting himself with a bashful nod and an embarrassed smile.
Israel is widely believed to have an atomic arsenal but has never confirmed or denied that it has nuclear weapons, maintaining a so-called policy of ambiguity on the issue for decades.
Netanyahu stumbled at the weekly cabinet meeting while reading in Hebrew prepared remarks on a deal with Greece and Cyprus on a subsea gas pipeline.
“The significance of this project is that we are turning Israel into a nuclear power,†he said, before quickly correcting himself to say “energy powerâ€.
He then paused for a beat,
acknowledging his mistake (and then) with a smile,
ploughed he continued on with his comments.
Cleaned up Reuters anti Jewish bias.
