Zarif: Netanyahu failed to protect Israel

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Friday took a jab at Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, claiming he has failed to protect Israel.

In a post on Twitter on the occasion of the Iranian Al-Quds Day, Zarif wrote, “Al-Quds is not for sale. Nobody has the right to cede the first Qibla of Muslims.”

He added, “A few Arab rulers believe that if they follow Netanyahu, they'll be able to achieve their illusions. But Netanyahu has failed to protect Israel, despite his Iron Dome, so how can he protect THEM?”
