JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - FEBRUARY 20: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives for the weekly cabinet meeting on February 20, 2011in Jerusalem. Netahyahu passed criticism on Iran, stating that the Islamic Republic was taking 'advantage of the situation that has arisen and broaden its influence', following reports of two Iranian naval ships travelling through the Suez Canal towards the Mediterranean. The vessels would be the first Iranian naval ships to sail through the canal since the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and comes amidst spreading Pro-democracy protests across the Middle East.
