Speaking at the first Sunday cabinet meeting he has headed as Israel’s new prime minister, Naftali Bennett noted the election of Iran’s new president, Ebrahim Raisi — who had formerly served as the head of Iran’s judiciary — and asserted that he was “the man infamous among Iranians and across the world for leading the death committees which executed thousands of innocent Iranian citizens throughout the years.”

Bennett continued that Raisi’s election represented “the last chance for the world powers to wake up before returning to the nuclear agreement and to understand who they’re doing business with. These guys are murderers, mass murderers.”
