PM Netanyahu's Statement about the Terror Attack in Bulgaria
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this afternoon (Thursday, 19 July 2012), issued the following statement about yesterday's terrorist attack in Bulgaria:
"Yesterday's attack in Bulgaria <http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Terrorism-+Obstacle+to+Peace/Palestinian+terror+since+2000/Terror_attack_Israeli_tourists_Bulgaria_18-Jul-2012.htm> was perpetrated by Hezbollah, Iran's leading terrorist proxy. This attack was part of a global campaign of terror carried out by Iran and Hezbollah. This terror campaign has reached a dozen countries on five continents. The world's leading powers should make it clear that Iran is the country that stands behind this terror campaign. Iran must be exposed by the international community as the premiere terrorist-supporting state that it is. And everything should be done to prevent Iran, the world's most dangerous regime, from developing the world's most dangerous weapons.
Israel is a strong country and the people of Israel are a strong people. We will continue to fight against the terrorists and to exact a heavy price from those who support them.
Thank you."
