FM: Netanyahu ‘a bloodthirsty monster that is no less than Hitler’
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denounces Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the strongest terms for his regime’s ongoing deadly atrocities against the Palestinian and Lebanese people.
“I think the whole world must stand up and stop this bloodthirsty monster that is no less a devil than Hitler,” the top diplomat said before the United Nations Security Council Media Stakeout in New York on Friday.
The comments came amid the regime’s October-present genocidal war on the Gaza Strip and deadly escalation against Lebanon, which have respectively claimed the lives of at least 41,534 Palestinians and hundreds of Lebanese. Women and children comprise the majority of the victims.
Araghchi regretted that the Security Council had “done nothing to stop the carnage.”
He put the failure down to “the United States’ and some other Western states’ having no regard for the lives of the people in our region and the peace and stability in the Middle East.”
“Israel has been so emboldened by the United States’ support that it is now turning against Lebanon,” the official added.
He cited the case of the regime’s attack on the Lebanese capital Beirut earlier in the day that claimed the lives of at least eight people, wounded around 80 others, and leveled seven buildings to the ground.
“They used several 5000lb bunker buster bombs gifted by the United States in a densely populated civilian part of Beirut,” Araghchi reminded.
“The regime is desperate to set the entire region on fire.”
The official urged the Security Council to act to stop the regime, and the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his main henchmen.
He finally reasserted the Islamic Republic’s support for the Lebanese people and resistance in the face of the Israeli savagery.
