Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the international community of 'hypocrisy' over Iran.

The comments from Netanyahu came as the Israeli military reportedly revealed that a cache of Syrian-made weapons was being sent by Iran to militants in the Gaza Strip.

He criticised EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who visited Tehran at the weekend, for her 'smiles and handshakes' with Iran's leaders, the BBC reports.

According to the repot, Iran has dismissed as 'failed lies' the accusation it was behind the shipment.

A spokesman for Hamas, the militant Palestinian Islamist movement that governs Gaza, has meanwhile said it is all a 'silly joke'.

 

Israel's navy seized a Panamanian-flagged vessel, the Klos-C, in the Red Sea off Sudan last Wednesday, and said it was carrying dozens of M-302 rockets, the report added.
