Merkel decries Iranian denial of Israel's right to exist (Extra)

Nov 3, 2009, 15:20 GMT

Washington - Iran's denial of Israel's right to exist is unacceptable and Tehran must be prevented from obtaining a nuclear weapon, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in a speech before the US Congress on Tuesday. A nuclear armed Iran would pose a threat to international security, Merkel said, adding that there is limited patience in the ongoing talks with Iran to come clean about its nuclear activities. 'Iran needs to be aware of this, Iran knows our offer, but Iran also knows where we draw the line,' Merkel said. She also said trivializing the Holocaust and rejecting Israel's right to exist by Iran's leaders was 'not acceptable.' 'Whoever threatens Israel also threatens us,' she said. She was addressing Congress to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which took place on November 9, 1989.
