ISRAEL UPDATE November 25, 2016India Strongly Backs Israel on Iran, President Rivlin SaysPresident Reuven Rivlin said on a visit to India that New Delhi backs Israeli policy on Iran “more than most other countries.” “We made clear the position of the Israeli government about the threat Iran poses to us and stressed that it’s a country that seeks to destroy us,” Rivlin said on Sunday. According to Haaretz, in response, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi said of the threat that “it shall not come to pass,” Rivlin added. Rivlin further quoted Modi as saying “we are in good relations with Iran but we still support you in all instances in which international organizations accept absurd resolutions from your standpoint.” “India wants to show anyone in the world who speaks about boycotting Israel that it is not hiding its relationship with us,” Rivlin said.
