PM Netanyahu's Response to Attempts to Attack Israelis and Jews around the
World
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today (Monday), 13.2.12, made the
following remarks:

"In recent months we have witnessed several attempts to attack Israeli
citizens and Jews in several countries, including Azerbaijan, Thailand and
others. In each instance we succeeded in foiling the attacks in cooperation
with local authorities. Iran and its proxy Hezbollah were behind all of
these attempted attacks. Today we have witnessed two additional attempted
terrorist attacks on innocent civilians, the first against an Israeli woman
who was wounded in New Delhi and the second against a local employee of the
Israeli Embassy in Georgia. Iran is behind these attacks; it is the largest
exporter of terrorism in the world. The Government of Israel and the
security services will continue to act together with local security forces
against such acts of terrorism. We will continue to take strong and
systematic, yet patient, action against the international terrorism that
originates in Iran."
