Israel to submit letter of protest against Iran to UN Security Council

In a letter of condolence to Hizbullah secretary-general following Imad Mugniyah’s assassination, General Muhammad Ali Jafari, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, said: “In the near future we will bear witness to the disappearance of this cancerous bacterium, Israel, by the radiation of Hizbullah’s fighters.”(Fars news agency report)(Communicated by the Foreign Ministry Spokesman)

The Foreign Ministry, today (Monday), 18 February 2008, has instructed Israel’s Mission to the United Nations to submit a letter of complaint and protest to the President of the United Nations Security Council (Panamanian Ambassador Ricardo Alberto Arias) and to request that he issue a statement condemning Iran over the remarks of Revolutionary Guards Commander General Muhammad Ali Jafari, who said that, “I am convinced that Hizbullah’s might is increasing with every passing day and that in the near future, we will witness the disappearance of this cancerous growth called Israel.”

Israel’s letter will note that Jafari’s remarks convey an expectation of the destruction of the State of Israel and that it are also an anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic and racist statement of the worst kind.
