Barak: Israel has strength to face challenges of future
None
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said, "Unfortunately, even after 62 years of independence, some of our enemies have still not accepted that we are a state among the nations of the region."
"We have undergone hard tests in the past and come out strengthened," he added during a reception at his office to mark Independence Day. "I don't recommend any enemy to try us again. Israel has the power to face all the challenges of the future." (Hanan Greenberg)
