FM Gabi Ashkenazi:

I thanked Special Envoy Hook for the US's courageous stance, and for them not being afraid to do the right thing to stop the danger posed by Iran's nuclear and regional activity.

I repeated our concerns to the Special Envoy about Iran's continued breach of the arms embargo. Iran continues to support and arm its proxies in the region, chief among them Hezbollah and Hamas.

Thank you Governor Parson for signing the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act into law yesterday.
Your steadfast support of the State of Israel and its strong relations with the Great State of Missouri is greatly appreciated.
This week we mark 26 years since the terror attack at the Buenos Aires AMIA Jewish Community Center, carried by Hezbollah with the authorization of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, in which 85 people were murdered and hundreds of others injured.

We also remember the July 2012 Hezbollah terror attack at Burgas airport in Bulgaria, which claimed the lives of 6 innocent people.

This is an appropriate day to once again urge the European Union and its member states to list Iran's Proxy, Hezbollah, in its entirety as a terror group.
