Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who is on an official visit to Madrid said Israel and the UN were close to reaching an agreement regarding the northern village of Ghajar.

“Israel has held five meetings with UN representatives so far. The disputed points are resolvable in a matter that could achieve a positive outcome, ” Lieberman said.

Addressing the Iranian threat, Lieberman urged the Spanish leadership to help curb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear ambitions: “Spain, as the current president of the European Union, must take decisive steps to stop Iran’s nuclear program and stop a Middle East arms race, ” he said

Tehran’s nuclear program, he added, “Is far more advanced than the preemptive measures against it.”
