NATO Chief:NATO Won't Defend Israel in Attack; Says NATO Not Involved in Mideast Peace,Battles

NATO's secretary-general says the alliance won't come to Israel's defense in case of attack by arch enemy Iran, the NY Post website reports today (June 2, 2018).

Jens Stoltenberg told the magazine Der Spiegel in comments published today that Israel is a partner, but not a member and that NATO's "security guarantee" doesn't apply to Israel.

Stoltenberg added that NATO isn't involved in Mideast peace efforts or in conflicts in the region.

Israel and Iran have recently clashed militarily over Iran's military presence in Syria.
