Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking Thursday evening at an event with representatives of 123 countries, responded sharply to Turkish President Erdogan's recent statements about Jerusalem, declaring 'no sir, you are not!' He also predicted the fall of the Iranian regime, saying 'this evil regime will fall and we will all celebrate it.'
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu escalated his rhetoric Thursday evening, explicitly rejecting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's claims to Jerusalem and expanding on his prediction that the Iranian regime will fall. Speaking before representatives of 123 countries, Netanyahu declared: 'Erdogan says he will be the ruler of Jerusalem, no sir, you are not!' He added: 'It is only a matter of time until something amazing happens in Iran. The power of the people will overcome the rulers. This evil regime will fall and we will all celebrate it.' He concluded with the biblical phrase 'The eternity of Israel will not lie' and holiday greetings.
The Zioneer first reported at 21:40 Jerusalem that Netanyahu had said 'It will not be long before the regime falls,' citing a report by Yair Goldblatt of the Security and Middle East platform. In his full address, he elaborated that the regime's fall would be a cause for celebration, and tied his remarks to a broader defiance of Erdogan's claims over Jerusalem.
