Netanyahu rejects Iranian regime's Rosh Hashana Twitter greetings

Netanyahu rejects Iranian regime's Rosh Hashana Twitter greetings

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded skeptically to Rosh Hashana greetings tweeted by the Iranian president and foreign minister on the occasion of the Jewish New Year earlier this week, saying Saturday, " I am not impressed with greetings coming from a regime that only last week threatened to annihilate the State of Israel."

Netanyahu stated that "the Iranian regime will be judged by its actions not by greetings aimed at diverting attention from continued uranium enrichment."

A Twitter account believed to operate with the authorization of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani wished Jews worldwide a Shana Tova on Wednesday.

“As the sun is about to set here in #Tehran I wish all Jews, especially Iranian Jews, a blessed Rosh Hashana,” the tweet read.
