Israel’s collapse inevitable notwithstanding US support: Iran

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says the Israeli regime is doomed to collapse, and the support of the United States will not change the regime’s inevitable fate.

Nasser Kan’ani made the remarks in a series of tweets on Thursday, a day after former Israeli prime minister Yair Lapid warned that the occupying regime is months away from falling apart.

Kan’ani warned those countries that are normalizing relations with Tel Aviv that the Israeli regime is not worth their investment, saying that such moves will not only cause capital loss but will also lead to a degradation of moral values.

He said that even though the US, as Israel’s main strategic ally, can continue supporting Israel and pressuring other countries to normalize ties with it, the decline and ultimate collapse of the regime cannot be prevented.

The remarks came after Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid warned about the disintegration of the regime during a speech at the parliament on Wednesday, saying, “In six months when the Israeli economy is crushed, in half a year when Israel starts to fall apart, hate will tear its society.”

Lapid made the comments after the Knesset passed in its preliminary reading a bill that could almost completely end court oversight of legislation by enabling the parliament to legislate laws that are preemptively immune to judicial review with a simple majority of 61 of 120 members of the parliament.

The bill is a major part of the regime’s so-called “reforms” which seek to tighten political control over judicial appointments and limit the apex court’s powers to overturn the cabinet’s decisions or Knesset’s laws.

Lapid further slammed the Netanyahu cabinet for saying it was open to talks while still advancing the highly contentious legislation.

“Don’t play around with us by talking while you’re also passing the bill… What conversation are you talking about? Enough with the lies,” he said during his speech.

Israeli regime president Isaac Herzog has already warned of “collapse” and “implosion” following protests against prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu-led cabinet’s controversial “judicial reform” plan.

Netanyahu’s coalition, however, claims that the reforms are needed to curb what it calls overreach by judges.

Protests have been raging on since Netanyahu’s new cabinet, dubbed as the most right-wing in the regime’s history, took office in late December.

Netanyahu was reinstated as premier after stitching together a coalition of hard-right and ultra-Orthodox parties.

In 2019, Netanyahu became the regime’s first sitting prime minister to be indicted over corruption while in office. But he refused to step down.
