JERUSALEM -- An Israeli minister on Saturday said he was “very concerned” about the US response to North Korea's test-launch of a series of missiles and Washington's stance towards Iran's nuclear programme.

“I am very concerned about the United States' reaction to North Korea's gross provocation,” Trade and Industry Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer said in a speech delivered outside Tel Aviv. The U.S. State Department had warned Pyongyang not to “aggravate tensions” after North Korea test-fired seven missiles off its eastern coast earlier Saturday, according to South Korean officials.
