Israel issues stark warning to the world over “radical militant Islam”
Israel’s PM Naftali Bennett has accused Iran of wanting to wipe out Tel Aviv and of seeking world domination via “radical militant Islam.”
In a pre-recorded message delivered during the Govt Press Organization’s annual Christian Media Summit on Thursday, the PM warned that “the terror that begins in Tehran seeks to destroy Israel, dominate the world, and drive it into a dark abyss.”
The premier’s remarks coincide with threats issued by the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh. He warned that any mistake made by Israel in its dealings with Tehran will only accelerate Iran’s eradication of the Jewish state.
Tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv have simmered dangerously close to boiling point in recent months, with the latter expressing grievances over Iran’s nuclear program.
