Barak: International insistence on Iran sanctions needed
None
Defense Minister Ehud Barak met with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos and told him that "a strong international insistence on efficient, active, goal-oriented, and time-limited sanctions is needed for Iran's nuclear program".
He added that Israel had begun proximity talks with the Palestinians. "I believe (the talks) must take a joint path leading within a short time to renewal of negotiations," he said. (Attila Somfalvi)
