“Its very well known by everyone that the Iranians still continue to send those shipments that comes to the hands of Hezbollah and while it says very clear that no one is allowed to bring to the territory of Lebanon any kind of weapons, that’s first, and second that the disarmament of Hezbollah never happened by the Lebanese army so its very well known that the violation is there unfortunately.”

“Iran is always trying to cover their real intentions, they’ve done it before, only recently in when the new site in Qom was discovered.We know about many other things they are trying to do to buy all the items that are needed in order to develop nuclear power. They are doing it while they are always lying about their real intentions. We are in a situation that we have to protect ourselves from those who are trying to kill us.”

“About the Goldstone report, we believe that it should stay there in Geneva. We don’t think it needs to come here to the Security Council. We believe it shouldn’t come to the Security Council. Its not the way to deal with that issue, that issue is so unfair, so biased that it should remain there in the hands of Iran, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia.”

Israel’s Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom met with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today at the United Nations following meetings this week at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) between Iran and world powers to curb Iran's ability to build a nuclear weapon.
Shalom told reporters he discussed Iran’s nuclear issues and arms deals with Hamas and Hezbollah with the Secretary-General.
He said that it was very well known that the Iranians continued to send shipments of weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon in violation of Security Council resolution 1701 and that Iran was trying to cover “their real intentions.”
On humanitarian aid to Gaza being blocked by the Israelis, Shalom said that all products were going in on a daily basis and that Hamas was distributing those products among its own people and selling it in the black market.
Commenting on the Goldstone report, Shalom said it should stay at the Human Rights Council in Geneva and that it didn’t need to come to the Security Council.
“Its not the way to deal with that issue,” he said, “that issue is so unfair, so biased that it should remain there in the hands of Iran, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia.”
