Israel: Don't Remove Iran's Revolutionary Guards from Terrorist List
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Minister of Foreign Affairs Yair Lapid said Sunday: "The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) is a terrorist organization that has murdered thousands of people, including Americans. We refuse to believe that the United States would remove its designation as a terrorist organization...in exchange for a promise not to harm Americans." "The IRGC are responsible for attacks on American civilians and American forces throughout the Middle East, including in the past year. The IRGC were behind plans to assassinate senior American government officials. The IRGC were involved in the murder of hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians, they destroyed Lebanon and they are brutally oppressing Iranian civilians. They kill Jews because they are Jews, Christians because they are Christians, and Muslims because they refuse to surrender to them."
