President Rivlin Urges German Chancellor to Join Sanctions on Iran
(Ha'aretz) Noa Landau - Israeli President Reuven Rivlin told visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday: "We cannot avoid speaking out against the decision taken by the European Union aimed at circumventing the sanctions on Iran. As we see it, now is the time to join in on sanctioning Iran, not to work around them. We must starve the Iranian monster, not feed it. This is the only way we can maintain the stability of this region. We ask Germany to stand with us in our demands for inspection of the Iranian nuclear program, and not allow them to evade their commitments."
