Israel says EU's response on Iran ‘recalls 1930s appeasement’

JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned a European Union response on Monday to Iran's breaches of its nuclear limitations, saying it recalled failed diplomacy with Nazi Germany ahead of World War Two.

"(It) reminds me of the European appeasement of the 1930s," Netanyahu said in a video statement.

"It seems there are those in Europe who will not wake up until Iranian nuclear missiles land on European soil. But then it will be too late, of course."
