World sees Israel as a pariah state

A senior Israeli authority has admitted that Israel is considered a pariah state in the international community, according to Haaretz.

Israeli Strategic Affairs Ministry Director General Sima Vaknin made the assertions in a speech to Israeli lawmakers on Sunday.

Vaknin's comments were made during a meeting of the Special Committee for the Transparency and Accessibility of Government Information.

"Today in the countries of the world, Israel is a pariah state. Our goal is that in 2025 no one in the world will question Israel's right to exist."
