Secretary Clinton made the following remarks on June 1:
On the Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound ship (made in a news conference after meeting with Romanian Foreign Minister Teodor Baconschi, as seen in the video above):
The United States supports the Security Council’s condemnation of the acts leading to this tragedy.… We support in the strongest terms the Security Council’s call for a prompt, impartial, credible, and transparent investigation.
On the certification of Iraq’s election results:
… Iraq’s electoral commission and security forces successfully organized and carried out a credible and competitive election. Since then, the electoral commission has worked in a careful, professional way to bring the process to this concluding point. This experience demonstrates that Iraqis want to use the political process to choose their leaders and settle differences.
On Italy’s Republic Day (June 2):
… I congratulate the people of Italy as you celebrate your 64th Republic Day.…
Today we are NATO allies working side by side to seize the opportunities and meet the challenges of the 21st century. From supporting the refocused mission in Afghanistan to curbing nuclear proliferation, combating climate change, and spurring global economic recovery, we are working together as partners to advance peace, security, and prosperity around the world.
