1. Post provided reftel points to the MFA Deputy Director
General for the United Nations and International
Organizations, Aharon Leshno Yaar, on October 10. Although
most MFA staff are on holiday this week, Yaar agreed to share
our points with MFA Deputy Director General Miriam Ziv, who
heads the Strategic Affairs Division that is most concerned
with the DPRK issue.
2. Press reports indicate that Prime Minister Olmert will
hold a special meeting on dealing with the threat posed by
the Iranian nuclear program -- a meeting that has been moved
up to this week in light of the North Korean nuclear test and
its implications for the Middle East. On October 10,
Minister of Public Security Avi Dichter told Israel Radio:
"Israel is very troubled by what Iran is doing and you could
say that North Korea comes after that. Israel should not be
the country that handles this. But the combination of
Iranian wishes, intentions and capabilities coupled with
North Korean means is a very bad combination, very bad for
Israel, and very bad for the Middle East."
3. On October 9, the Israeli MFA Spokesman communicated the
following statement: (Begin text)
Israel joins others in the international community in
condemning North Korea's nuclear test. The test is an
irresponsible and provocative act that could pose a serious
threat to the regional stability of northeast Asia and to
global and international security.
Israel reiterates its call to continue the moratorium on
nuclear tests and expects North Korea to stop any action that
would worsen the situation. Israel also calls on the
international community to firmly implement UNSC resolutions
adopted to deal with WMD and the proliferation threat.
