Yosef Haddad, a prominent Israeli activist and commentator, stated Wednesday that Iran's Ministry of Intelligence has officially listed him as a 'hostile personality' under a law targeting cooperation with Israel. Haddad said he is ranked third on the list, just below an individual named Emily, and warned that any contact with him could lead to arrest or the death penalty. He vowed to intensify his activism against the regime.
Yosef Haddad, a prominent Israeli activist and commentator, stated Wednesday that Iran's Ministry of Intelligence has officially listed him as a 'hostile personality' under a law that criminalizes cooperation with Israel. According to Haddad, he is ranked third on the list, with an individual named Emily ranked above him. He said that any contact between Iranians and him could lead to imprisonment or, depending on the severity, the death penalty.
Haddad, known for his vocal opposition to the Iranian regime and his work with Iranian opposition activists, vowed to intensify his activism. 'I promise to be more and more hostile,' he said, 'and continue to operate on social media, in the press, and in direct contact with Iranian opposition activists around the world until the regime falls and is destroyed.'
The designation comes amid an ongoing campaign by Iran's intelligence apparatus to target Israeli and pro-Israel figures. Earlier today, The Zioneer reported that Iran's Ministry of Intelligence listed the Instagram account of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs and Security (JCFA) as a 'hostile' entity. The list, part of a law passed in recent years, is meant to deter Iranians from engaging with designated individuals and organizations.
The veracity of Haddad's claim could not be independently confirmed, but he is a well-known figure with a significant following. The incident underscores the ongoing psychological warfare between Israel and Iran.
