Lieberman: US-Israeli drill postponed due to regional tensions

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Monday that Israel and the U.S. opted to delay a major joint military exercise due to regional tensions and instability. "

The entire world understands that we had to postpone this drill due to political and regional uncertainties, as well as the tensions and instability prevailing in the region," Lieberman told public radio.

"It's only a delay, the exercise will take place by the end of the year," Lieberman added.

On Sunday, a senior Israeli security official confirmed that the exercise, codenamed "Austere Challenge 12," which had been scheduled for spring, was now being put back to late 2012.
