Israel welcomes Iran sanctions
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel welcomed a new U.N. Security Council resolution against Iran.
“There is no doubt that this resolution is another significant stepping-up in the international struggle to stop Iran from attaining nuclear arms,” Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told his Cabinet on Sunday. He was referring to Resolution 1747, which broadened Security Council sanctions against Tehran for its refusal to suspend nuclear projects that can be used for bomb-making. Israel has hinted that it could resort to a military strike to prevent its arch-foe from attaining nuclear weapons, but Olmert voiced hope that Western diplomatic pressure would succeed. “I would like to emphasize that the Israeli approach all along has been to prefer a diplomatic, economic solution to the Iranian problem,” he said. “We will continue contributing, to the best of our abilities, in the fields where we can have influence, in order to bolster this international front and ultimately arrive at the result we seek.”
