JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israeli President Shimon Peres (shee-MOHN' PEHR'-ehs) says his nation trusts the U.S. policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Peres says Iran constitutes the greatest danger to Israel's security. But he's also pointing to threats from Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, and from Lebanon's Hezbollah.
The U.S. has vowed to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but has said it prefers a diplomatic solution to one requiring a military intervention. But Israel's government has warned the window to act could close as soon as this summer.
Peres spoke alongside President Barack Obama after the two met in Jerusalem. Obama arrived in Israel Wednesday on his first trip to Israel as president.

No enemy of our neighbours will operate on Rwandan soil – Kagame

  Anyone who wants to destabilise Rwanda’s neighbours will never be allowed to operate in Rwanda, President Paul Kagame has said. He made the remarks in Rusizi District on August 26 while addressing over 400 opinion leaders from Western Province where he also spoke at length about security issues and development. Security remains our top priority because if there is no security nothing can be done, he said. "The way we want to live in harmony in our country is the same way we want to get along with our neighbours...so that everyone can be safe and able to do what they want to do,” he said.

There will not be anyone who want...
