Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affair Tzipi Lizni met today (10 July 2008) with Irish Foreign Minister Micheál Martin.
Referring to the Iranian threat, FM Livni said: "The threat which Iran poses is not only nuclear, but is a comprehensive threat. Iran supports Hizbullah, Hamas and other extremist elements in the region and is a threat not only to Israel. Iran’s response to Europe is not ambiguous. Iran rejects the international demand to halt the enrichment of uranium and the world must respond accordingly - by increasing and intensifying the sanctions against Iran."
