Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko launched a harsh verbal attack on Israel, saying its military campaign in Gaza has killed too many children and that talk of building a resort "on the bones of the dead" is nonsense. He called on Israel to "reconsider its very existence."
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko escalated his rhetoric against Israel on Monday evening, calling the military campaign in Gaza unjustified and questioning the country's future existence. In remarks reported by Israeli media, Lukashenko said: "What possible Holocaust, which the Israelis talk about, can justify the killing of so many people, and especially women and children?" He dismissed Israeli talk of building a resort in Gaza as "complete nonsense on the bones of the dead." The comments come as Israel's military operations in Gaza continue, though they mark no shift in Belarusian policy, which has maintained ties with both Israel and Russia. The Zioneer first reported the remarks minutes earlier. No further official Israeli response has been reported.
