New Delhi: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said that the true backer of much of this aggression is Iran.
He said that Iran not only supports completely the Islamic Jihad in Gaza, and gives them all the finance, they also give weapons to Hamas as well as to Hezbollah and they provide the scaffolding on which these organizations work, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed.
This comes during PM Netanyahu's meeting with German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas at the Kirya in Tel Aviv earlier today. Maas, during the meeting, showed him an Iranian UAV that had been downed in the Beit Shean area.
"While we were engaged in these hostilities a few days ago, Iran sent an armed drone from Iraq or Syria. Iranian forces launched an armed drone, which our forces intercepted on the border between Israel and Jordan and that I think says everything on the true patron of terror in the Middle East and the world", PM Netanyahu reiterated during the meeting.
According to the press statement issued by the Israeli Foreign Ministry, the Israeli Prime Minister expressed his appreciation for the unwavering position of Germany in supporting Israel's right of self-defence and said that t comes from the heart. "Not only representing the government but the people of Israel in our time of need. So thank you", PM Netanyahu added.
