Israel Warns of New "Axis of Terror"
(AP/Forbes) Edith M. Lederer - Israel warned the UN Security Council Monday that a new "axis of terror" - Iran, Syria, and the Hamas-run Palestinian government - is sowing the seeds of the first world war of the 21st century. Recent statements by the Palestinian government, Iran, and Syria, including one by Hamas on Monday defending the suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, "are clear declarations of war, and I urge each and every one of you to listen carefully and take them at face value," said Israeli UN Ambassador Dan Gillerman. He urged the international community and the Security Council "to take swift actions to try and prevent the next murder which is already on its way." Israel will not sit idly by and allow "human bombs" or rockets to penetrate the country and kill Israelis - and he asked whether every country wouldn't do the same to eliminate a similar danger.
