1. (C) PolCouns delivered reftel points and the text of the
U.S. 60-day report March 1 to MFA Deputy Director General for
Strategic Affairs Miriam Ziv, noting that while the
information contained in the points was not new to Israel, we
wanted the Israelis to be aware of our efforts to ensure
robust international implementation of 1737. Ziv expressed
appreciation for U.S. leadership in the ongoing effort to
block Iran's drive to develop nuclear weapons.
2. (C) Ziv admitted that Israel was behind in submitting its
60-day report to the Security Council, and said that while
her department was short-staffed and any form of doing
business with Iran was illegal in Israel, they would
nonetheless make an extra effort to get their report in. She
noted that some U.S. companies continued to do business with
Iran through third parties. Ziv said Israel would continue
to work closely with the U.S. to identify Iran's financial
vulnerabilities. She said Israel hoped a follow-on UNSC
resolution would have "sharper teeth" than 1737.
