Cyprus and Europe are in danger from the terrorism that emanates from the region, Netanyahu says during one day visit to Cyprus.
Iranian and Hezbollah backed terrorism present a danger to almost every European country, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday during a one day visit to Cyprus.
“Iran and Hezbollah organize a terrorist network that covers over thirty countries on five continents, including Europe, just about every country in Europe,” Netanyahu said.
He spoke as EU’s foreign policy chief Frederica Mogherini visited Teheran to meet with its Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to help normalize relations in the aftermath of the Iran deal to curb the country’s nuclear program.
Iran and the European Union have agreed to start talks on various issues, Zarif told a joint news conference with Mogherini.
"High-level talks will be held between Iran and the European Union over different issues, including energy cooperation … human rights, confronting terrorism and regional issues," Zarif said.
Mogherini said implementation of the nuclear deal "depends on political will of all parties involved", adding: "The implementation of the deal will pave the ground for wider cooperation between Iran and the West."
