 DOHA, Qatar (AP) - In her first visit to a Gulf nation, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni sought Arab support against Iran and militant groups, warning Monday that extremists like Hezbollah and Hamas are trying to sabotage regional peace efforts.
Livni told delegates at a democracy and trade conference in Qatar that Israel and Arab states are mired in the same struggle with extremists who "refuse to recognize our democratic rights."
"When I say `our,' I mean the rights of Israelis, moderate Palestinians, moderate Arabs and pragmatic Muslim regimes alike," Livni said Monday during a panel discussion.
