Israel's Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, has said that the country is not planning to bomb Iran. Speaking during a visit to Russia on Wednesday, Lieberman said "This is not an Israeli problem. But the world should understand that Iran's entrance into the nuclear club would prompt a whole arms race, a crazy race of unconventional weaponry across the Mideast that is a threat to the entire world order, a challenge to the whole international community. So we do not want a global problem to be solved with our hands." Previous rhetoric from the Netanyahu government have intimated that Israel might be forced to attack Iran's nuclear sites if diplomatic initiatives fail.
Lieberman earlier met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. According to Israel's Foreign Ministry, The leaders discussed the general situation in the Middle East and the relations between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as Israeli-Russian relations, and agreed to continue promoting economic ties between the two states and cooperation in the realms of space technology and high-tech, culture and the international law for the protection of investments.
