JERUSALEM (EJP)---French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Monday that a nuclear-armed Iran is "unacceptable" to his country.
In his address to the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, Sarkozy said Israel was not alone.
"I reiterate here in the clearest manner: As far as France is concerned, a nuclear Iran is totally unacceptable," he said.
"France is determined to continue to lead, along with its partners, a policy that integrates gradually intensifying sanctions with openness, in case Iran chooses to honor its international obligations."
France, he said, "is Israel's friend, and will always stand by her side when her security or existence are threatened. Those who scandalously call for the destruction of Israel will always, always, find France blocking their path."
