Israeli Diplomat: The First War We Lose Will Be the Last


(Malta Today) Raphael Vassallo - Israel's ambassador to Malta Eyal Sela said in an interview: "Israel aims to have peace with its neighbors: with our Palestinian neighbors, with the Arab countries surrounding Israel, and with other countries that do not directly border Israel. The main goal is to enhance [peace], as much as we can, with almost everyone that is ready to live in peace in the region. But not everyone wants to live in peace. Not everyone is moderate." "There is Shia extremism, whose center is in Iran, and whose proxy is mainly Hizbullah in Lebanon. There is Sunni extremism: like ISIS...Al Qaeda...and the Muslim Brotherhood movement, of which Hamas is a part....They don't accept anyone who is not Muslim....See what's happening now in the Gaza Strip....Our security was, is and always will be the most important factor. The first war that we lose, will be the last war."
