Israel Accuses Chavez of Turning Venezuela into an Iranian Outpost
[El Universal-Venezuela] Israeli Foreign Affairs Vice-Minister Danny Ayalon accused Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez of having turned Venezuela into an "Iranian outpost in the hemisphere." "The scope of the Iranian regime does not end in the Middle East. It is global, and also reaches Africa and Latin America," Ayalon said during a briefing to diplomats and journalists at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. In Latin America, "most countries are not only aware" of the "threat posed by the infiltration of Iran" in the region but "they are also concerned" about it, he said.
