Israeli FM: Iran's Security Council bid ''absurd''
(Xinhua) -- Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Wednesday that Iran's bid to become a member of the UN Security Council "absurd", local daily Ha'aretz reported. The newly elected Kadima leader made the remarks in response to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. While calling the Iranian bid "absurd," Livni denounced that Iran "threatens the security of its neighbors and calls for the destruction of another country." Such a country how can become "a member of an organization whose goal is to contribute to global security," she questioned. Livni, meanwhile, noted that "Iran is currently subjected to the Security Council's sanctions because it produces nuclear weapons and supplies arms to terror groups." Posted by: Fred 2008-09-25 |
