Lieberman cautions Belarus against ties with Iran

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday promised to strengthen ties with Belarus, but cautioned the ex-Soviet nation against developing relations with Iran. After talks with Belarusian officials, Lieberman said that Iran is a threat to stability in the entire Middle East, and that Israel expects them to take its concerns into account.
