Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman orders Israeli ambassadors serving around the world to toughen up in Jerusalem conference; says: 'We will not look for conflict or friction, but we will not turn the other cheek'
According to Lieberman, "In the last two major terror attempts, the attempt to blow up the airliner from Amsterdam to Detroit and the attempt on the life of the Danish caricaturist, citizens of Nigeria and Kenya were involved. This fact speaks for itself."

Also at the meeting were Macedonian Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Vladimir Pesevski and Interior Minister Gordana Jankuloska. Lieberman told them that current data testifies to the fact that the Balkan region is Global Jihad's next target for creating an infrastructure and recruiting activists.
According to the foreign minister, "This can be seen from the attempts of Muslim charitable organizations to transfer funds to Africa and South America, to areas populated by Bosnians and Albanians."
Lieberman added that this meant Macedonia must be suitably prepared in order to prevent what happened in Africa and South America from happening in the Balkans.
