Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Foreign Minister Eli Cohen says he has spoken by phone with French counterpart, Catherine Colonna, about ways to stop Iran’s nuclear program.

Israel is pushing allies to censure Iran at the June IAEA Board of Governor’s meeting, and Cohen is working to drum up support for a tough stance.

“In recent months, I met and spoke with my colleagues from the E3 and the US in order to advance immediate steps in the IAEA board meeting in June,” says Cohen in a statement. “My visit to the Czech Republic, which heads the IAEA Board of Governors, will also be dedicated to the unceasing fight against Iran’s nuclear program.”
