'Lasting peace in the Middle East unlikely...': Israel’s envoy Fleur Hassan on peace deal with Iran

Special Envoy of the Foreign Ministry of Israel, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, said there are still significant opportunities for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) and expressed hope that the I2U2 grouping can regain momentum in the future. Speaking on regional tensions, Nahoum said lasting peace in the Middle East would remain difficult while Iran's current regime remained in power. "I don't think there's a real possibility of peace whilst a jihadi extreme Shia group is in charge and oppressing the people of Iran, oppressing the region, and acting like terrorists with proxies," she said.
