Is Albania threatened by Iran? Here's what the Israeli ambassador in Tirana

The Israeli Ambassador to our country, Galit Peleg, has commented on recent developments regarding the war in the Middle East and the danger of Iran to other countries.

In an interview with Euronews Albania, Pelge stated that she is not aware of any specific threat to Albania. According to her, the only European country that is in greater danger is Britain, due to the terrorist cells that Iran has in this country.

" Albania is a close ally of Israel, we have close cooperation and, if there is any threat, we will certainly inform the Albanian authorities ," the ambassador emphasized in her speech.

The diplomat also warned the Albanian authorities that despite the lack of danger, Albania must be careful and vigilant.

Galit Peleg: Regarding the threat to Albania, I am not aware of any specific threat to Albania. I cannot say that Albania is in focus, but you can ask Mojtaba Khamenei about this. Perhaps Britain has a specific threat of missile attacks, but nothing is known about other forms, since this regime has organized terrorist cells in Europe. As I said, it poses a threat to all of Europe and the whole world, but I do not know of a specific threat to Albania. Albania is a close ally of Israel, we have close cooperation and, if there is any threat, of course we will inform the Albanian authorities.

But let me add something, since the beginning of this war, but also before, as ambassador, we have had a wonderful cooperation with the Albanian Police and the Ministry of Interior. This cooperation is at every level and I think it is an opportunity to thank you for my security and my staff.

Israeli diplomats are always at risk. As for the risk in Albania, fortunately there has been no incident, and this is thanks to the cooperation between your security forces. We believe that something will never happen, but the risk exists. A few days ago was the anniversary of the bombing of Buenos Aires, which was carried out by a faction of Hezbollah, supported by the Iranian state, but there have been other cases that have been prevented thanks to cooperation with local authorities. But these are the things that ordinary people do not see.

In a friendly country like Albania, I don't see any threats, but we have to be careful, because enemies are everywhere. Therefore, let's hope that the situation in Albania remains safe, but we have to be vigilant.
