Israel Urges UN to Press Iraq over Attacks by "Pro-Iranian Militias"
(AFP) Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Monday, "This evening I sent a letter to the president of the UN Security Council in which I called for immediate action regarding the activity of the pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, whose territory is being used to attack Israel." Saar said Iraq "is responsible under international law to prevent the use of its territory as a base for attacks against other nations. Israel calls on the Iraqi government to fulfill this obligation and to take immediate action to halt and prevent these attacks." Saar added that Israel would take "all necessary measures to protect itself and its citizens" from Iran-backed militias.
