‘Modern Hitler’: Iran raps Netanyahu’s escalated violence in Gaza, Lebanon

October 7, 2024 - 22:13

TEHRAN – The Spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry has vehemently denounced Israel’s ongoing violence in Gaza and Lebanon, calling the regime’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the “modern Hitler” who’s looking to ethnically cleanse Muslims.   

On Monday, Ismail Baqaei condemned the regime’s recent slaughter of Palestinians in a Gaza Mosque as well as its latest attacks in Lebanon which targeted residential buildings in southern Beirut. Baqaei emphasized, “Arms provided by the United States facilitate these atrocities.”

The spokesman drew parallels between the assaults on religious sites, schools, mosques, and medical facilities in Palestine and Lebanon to the crimes perpetrated by Daesh, asserting that the massacre of innocent individuals and the devastation of civilian infrastructure are integral to both Zionist and Takfiri ideologies.

Baqaei asserted that the killing of the oppressed Palestinian population, who have been forced to seek refuge in religious and cultural centers, exemplifies blatant war crimes and crimes against humanity. 

The Iranian diplomat urged the international community to take decisive action against Netanyahu, whom he referred to as the “modern-day Hitler,” along with other leaders of the Zionist regime.

Baqaei warned that the destabilizing policies of the Zionist regime represent a significant threat to both regional and global peace and stability, cautioning that failure to address these crimes could result in severe repercussions for all nations in the region and beyond.

The Iranian spokesman called upon countries worldwide, particularly Muslim nations, to utilize all available resources to deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza and Beirut and to combat the destabilizing actions of the Zionist regime.
