Iran slams Israeli minister’s racist remarks about Palestinians

Iran has slammed “racist and provocative” remarks by the Israeli finance minister about Palestinians.

According to Press TV, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kan’ani wrote in a post published on his Twitter page on Tuesday such remarks clearly show the aggressive and avaricious nature of the occupying regime regarding all nations in the region, including Jordan.

Kan’ani also urged unity among Islamic countries and resistance against the Zionist regime as the key to victory.

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh has also strongly condemned the remarks by the far-right Israeli minister, describing them as evidence to the regime’s “racist ideology.”

Shtayyeh said Smotrich’s “inflammatory statements are consistent with the first Zionist sayings of a land without a people for a people without a land.”

He said the comments were “conclusive evidence of the extremist, racist Zionist ideology... of the current Israeli administration.”
