“Iran is the world’s leading exporter of terrorism and extremism, and together with its terror proxies, it threatens regional stability and global peace,” says the foreign minister.
“More countries should follow suit and join the fight against Iranian aggression and terrorism,” he adds.
Peña reopened his country’s embassy in Jerusalem last December and condemned Hamas “criminals” in a speech at the Knesset during the same visit.
“We were with you, we are with you, we will stay with the people of Israel forever,” the Paraguayan president told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the ceremony for the embassy reopening.
