Israel: Iran Spends $7 Billion a Year on Middle East Terror
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - "The Iranian regime's obsession with Israel... is expensive. Seven billion dollars annually are directed towards the never-ending attempts to destroy Israel," Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon told the Security Council on Tuesday. He broke down the spending: $4 billion to Syria, $1 billion to Lebanon, $50 million to Hamas in Gaza and $70 million to Islamic Jihad. Tens of millions have gone to Yemen and hundreds of millions to Shiites in Iraq. "Iran is trying to turn Judea and Samaria (West Bank) into a fourth military front against Israel," Danon said.
