Netanyahu demands Moscow sever ties with Tehran
Israel has demanded that Russia cut ties with Iran, as Jerusalem holds Tehran responsible for most of the terrorist activity in the Middle East, the Israeli government said in a message on its website on Dec. 10.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that Russia stop allying itself with Iran, in a phone call with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
“The Prime Minister expressed his dissatisfaction with the positions expressed against Israel by Russian representatives at the UN and in other forums,” the message reads.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed sharp criticism of the dangerous cooperation between Russia and Iran.”
"These ties, unfortunately, are strengthening and allow the Iranian leadership not only to continue to express their aggressive intentions towards Israel, but also to continue to threaten our country with extermination," said Ariel Bulshtein, a spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minister's Office.
Addressing the international community, Bulshtein said that Israel does not intend to stop in its mission to destroy Hamas and condemns all attempts to save “terrorists” from just retribution by international organizations and foreign governments.
"It would be tantamount to someone suggesting in early 1945 that the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition stop their military operations and stop persecuting the Nazi regime," Bulshtein stated.
"This would have meant, in practice, saving that regime. Similarly, today, those who call on Israel to cease fire forget that our country did not attack anyone. It was the victim of an unprovoked barbaric attack on Oct. 7, which resulted in enormous casualties. In this situation, calling for a ceasefire is like saving the terrorists from an inevitable collapse. This will not happen. Israel will bring the military action to its conclusion, to the realization of all its goals."
