Netanyahu Likens Iran To Nazis In Holocaust Remembrance Speech
Source: Deutsche Welle
Speaking at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu compared the policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime that ruled Germany from 1933 until its World War II defeat in 1945.
"As the Nazis strived to trample civilization and replace it with a 'master race' while destroying the Jewish people, so is Iran striving to take over the region and expand further with a declared goal of destroying the Jewish state," he said.
Opposition to nuclear agreement
Netanyahu also took the opportunity to reiterate his opposition to a framework agreement reached between the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany (P5+1) with Iran, designed to curb the Islamic Republic's nuclear program so that it will not be able to use it for military purposes.
"Instead of demanding Iran significantly dismantle its nuclear capabilities and conditioning lifting sanctions on it ending its aggressions, the world powers are retreating, leaving Iran with nuclear capabilities and even allowing it to expand them later on regardless to its actions in the Middle East and around the world," he said.
