EU says ‘totally unacceptable’ for Rouhani to call Israel a ‘cancer’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe European Union condemns Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s calling Israel a “cancer.”
“President Rouhani’s remarks bringing into question Israel’s legitimacy are totally unacceptable. They are also incompatible with the need to address international disputes through dialogue and international law,” a spokesperson for EU foreign policy czar Federica Mogherini says in a statement.
“The European Union reiterates its fundamental commitment to the security of Israel, including with regard to current and emerging threats in the region.”
