Says it risks losing support on Iran threats
WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton cautioned Israel's right-wing government yesterday that it risks losing Arab support for fighting any threats from Iran if it shuns peace talks with Palestinians.
Signaling US impatience with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reticence over peace talks, Clinton said Arab nations had made clear to her that Israel must be committed to the Palestinian peace process if it wants help countering Iran.
"For Israel to get the kind of strong support it is looking for vis-a-vis Iran, it can't stay on the sidelines with respect to the Palestinians and the peace efforts. They go hand in hand," she told the House Appropriations Committee.
