Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the creation of a security alliance in the Middle East similar to NATO in Europe at a joint meeting of the US Senate and the House of Representatives, Azernews reports, citing foreign media.

"After the Second World War, the United States created a security alliance in Europe to counter the growing Soviet threat, and today America and Israel can create a security alliance in the Middle East to counter the growing Iranian threat.

All countries that have peace with Israel should be invited to this alliance," the PM added.
