‘Strategic deadlock’: Iran says backing Israeli regime ‘betting on losing horse’
Iran's Foreign Ministry has strongly advised the Israeli regime’s benefactors against keeping up their support for Tel Aviv’s crimes against Palestinians.
“Supporting the Zionist regime towards continuation of its crimes against Palestinians amounts to betting on the losing and hapless horse in addition to [carrying] legal and international responsibility,” the ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani wrote in a post on X on Wednesday.
To support the remarks, the official cited the mounting crises that had afflicted the regime as a result of its insistence on pressing ahead with its October-present genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
He enumerated the resignations that had plagued the regime’s ranks as well as the recurrent protests and a general strike that have taken place by those demanding an end to the war that could enable the return of those who remain captive in Gaza.
The number of such incidents has been growing at an “unprecedented speed” following 11 months of “all-out and madcap” war on Gaza, Kan’ani said.
“Widening rift within the Zionist regime’s society and ranks is now [clearly] visible to the eyes of the world in a way that some Zionist rulers and experts openly talk about the threat of its disintegration,” he added.
“’The terrorist gang ruling Tel Aviv’ is facing strategic agitation and impasse in its efforts to protect and ensure continuation of the regime’s survival,” the spokesman asserted.
He, meanwhile, described the regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a war criminal, whose further stay in power would expedite the regime’s internal and international decline.
Netanyahu has vowed to keep up the war until, what he has called, “elimination” of the Gaza-based resistance movement Hamas, a prospect that has been ruled out as impossible by the group and even some Israeli officials and Tel Aviv’s own allies.
In July, Hamas agreed to a truce deal featuring withdrawal of the Israeli forces, return of the displaced people, an end to the siege that has been imposed by Tel Aviv on Gaza, and initiation of the territory’s reconstruction process.
The regime, however, rejected the proposal before coming up with “new conditions,” including its keeping its forces inside Gaza along the coastal sliver’s border with Egypt.
The war has so far claimed the lives of more than 40,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
