Israel has congratulated Nepal on the successful conduct of the House of Representatives elections, describing it as an important step for strengthening democracy.
Israeli Ambassador to Nepal, Shmulik Arie Bass, while organizing a press conference in Kathmandu this afternoon under the theme "The Dawn of a New Middle East", expressed Israel’s desire to work closely with Nepal to further deepen bilateral friendship and cooperation.
During the press briefing, Ambassador Bass said that Israel seeks peace in the Middle East and is ready to negotiate with all neighboring countries for the peace and progress of the entire region.
He alleged that his country has been repeatedly targeted by extremist organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas, and accused Iran of providing funding and support to these groups, which Israel considers an existential threat.
The ambassador emphasized that Israel does not want to target Iranian civilians, stating that Israel’s goal is to liberate the people of Iran from the rule of dictators like Ali Khamenei, whom he described as posing a threat to regional and global security.
He also said that recent joint air strikes by the United States and Israel were aimed at neutralizing Iran’s nuclear threat, not only to the Middle East but also at the global level, adding that Israel remains committed to defending itself while seeking a peaceful future.
