My Comment: There is a lack of Israeli unity on articulating a common position on what has been the impact of sanctions on Iran, with Israel's military chief himself voicing his doubts that Iran will proceed in the assembling and testing of a nuclear device.

They will continue with their nuclear program even if it means starvation and suffering for their people.
