TEL AVIV Israel has shifted its focus from Iran and has now identified Pakistan and Afghanistan as the biggest threat it faces.
Israels hardliner Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, in his first interview to a Russian daily after taking charge, has said that since he began warning against the nuclear threat from Iran, nuclear threats have become more prevalent.
However, he said that a more urgent problem has developed in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
He said Pakistan is nuclear and unstable, and Afghanistan is faced with a potential Taliban takeover, and the combination form a contiguous area of radicalism ruled in the spirit of Bin Laden.
Lieberman is of the view that countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan are a threat not only to Israel, but to the global order as a whole.
