The
talks come as US President Donald Trump says he will decide within two weeks
whether to join Israel’s ongoing military campaign against Iran, amid reports
that Washington is actively considering intervention.
Iran said the latest attack targeted “military objectives,
defense industries, and command centers” in Israel, a spokesperson for the
country’s Revolutionary Guard said.
Haifa's mayor stressed need for peace after the Iranian
missile barrage on Friday.
The “name of the game is peace,” Yona Yahav, mayor of the
northern Israeli city, told CNN. He said the two-week deadline set by President
Donald Trump to decide on whether the US will join Israel’s military action on
Iran is too long.
Speaking to CNN’s Nic Robertson from the city in the
aftermath of a fresh Iranian missile barrage, Mayor Yona Yahav confirmed that
no one had been killed in the attack.
According to Israeli emergency services, a total of 21
people were injured in Haifa during the attacks, including three with severe
injuries.
Yahav also said “I don’t like wars,” after having personally
experienced 10 of them, adding that the “name of the game is peace.”
He said his culturally mixed city has been a mostly peaceful
home to both Jews and Arabs for over 100 years.
When asked about the talks that are being held in Geneva
between Iran and European countries, Yahav said he hoped that a peace treaty
would be the ultimate end result.
The mayor said that the two-week deadline President Trump
had given to decide US actions on Iran was “too much,” as he said it is
difficult for residents to live while wrapped up in war.
“A fixed answer I can’t get from Trump, and this bothers
me,” he said.
“Because I like stability, and I think that he has to give
me this stability.”
