Aznar: “Undermining Israel’s position is to weaken our own position”

Foro Herzliya

03-02-2010

The president of the Foundation for Social Studies and Analysis, FAES, José María Aznar, has closed today, Wednesday 3 February, in Israel the conference ‘Rising to the Challenge of Radical Indoctrination' of the tenth edition of the forum Herzliya.

This is the main forum for political, economic, and diplomatic debate of the country. During his address, Aznar declared that "undermining Israel's position is undermining our own position". He added "We must rebuild confidence in ourselves, in our values, in our political systems, in our way of life, if we wish to prevail before the threats of radical fanaticism."


In this sense, the President of FAES underlined that "we must support the dissidents that fight for democracy everywhere, particularly in Iran. Doing nothing is our greatest danger."


"We must consider Israel as a normal country, as a normal democracy, as a land of economic opportunities. If we believe Israel to be an integral part of the Western world, we will not find it difficult to understand why it is necessary to confront the currents that seek to delegitimise the State of Israel" he explained.


José María Aznar has also taken the opportunity given by his visit to the Herzliya Forum to hold an interview with the Israeli minister of Defence, Ehud Barak.
