In Israel last night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu consolidated power in what is being described as a political master-stroke. Among the many consequences of his new unity government with his country’s second largest party, is that he has the support needed to neutralize the existential threat facing his nation: an Iranian Islamic Republic armed with nuclear weapons.

Mr. Netanyahu now controls roughly 90 seats in the 120 member Israeli parliament and added Kadima’s leader, a serious retired general named Shaul Mofaz, to his team.

Such a feat could not come at a more important time. Thanks to the Obama administration’s willingness to appease the mullahs in Iran rather than defeat them, that task will fall to Israel. Bibi Netanyahu now has the political strength to do it.
