Iran using its proxies to destroy Israel: Amb. Dan Gillerman
Amb. Dan Gillerman, former Israeli ambassador to the U.N., explains Iran's role in the Gaza conflict on 'The Faulkner Focus.'
Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Dan Gillerman called attention to Iran's role in the Israel-Gaza conflict, Thursday, telling "The Faulkner Focus" that the regime needs to pay a "very high price" for stirring up terrorism and spreading extremism in the Arab world.
AMB. DAN GILLERMAN: This is really Iran using its proxies. Both Hamas in the south of Israel and Gaza and Hezbollah in the north are nothing but the bloody tentacles of the twisted minds and the horrible regime of the ayatollahs and the mullahs in Iran who are also intent on destroying Israel. In fact, Israel is the only country in the world where a member of the United Nations -- where, as you know, I served for six years -- publicly declares that its intention is to destroy another member of the United Nations, namely Israel. So it's true, Iran is stirring up terrorism and extremism in the Arab world, in Syria, in the north with Hezbollah and indeed in the south with cause with Hamas. So, in fact, our fight is not just against Hamas, it is also Iran. And I know the Iranians and Hezbollah are watching it very carefully. And we have to make sure that when it's over, they will realize that whoever messes with Israel pays a very, very high price.
