WWIII - North Korea's Foreign Ministry (North Korea) says Israel is the only country in the Middle East to have nuclear weapons. Israel is not touched, Pyongyang continued, for protection from the United States (US).

The statement of North Korea is a further response to the statement made by Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman. Where Lieberman called the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un as a madman.

The North's foreign ministry said Lieberman's statement was part of Israel's dirty campaign to cover up its own crimes.

"Israel is the only illegal nuclear owner in the Middle East under US protection, but Israel insists on North Korea's nuclear deterrence, slandering it, whenever an opportunity arises on its own," the North's Foreign Ministry said, as quoted by Fars News on Sunday (30 / 4).

Earlier, Pyongyang warned Israel to get what the North Korean news agency KCNA calls a merciless punishment a thousandfold. But the North Korean state outlet media did not explain the form of punishment from the threat.

"Israel should think twice about the consequences that dirty campaigns against the DPRK must cover for crimes occupying Arab territory and disrupting the peace process in the Middle East," he said.
