Israel praises protest in New York against Iranian president during UN General Assembly
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi accused Israel of being behind “the biggest state terrorism,” at the United Nations headquarters, and also took shots at the United States over Afghanistan and the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol.
Israel criticized Iran’s president on Wednesday following the new leader’s fiery speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
In a tweet, the Israeli Foreign Ministry praised trucks in New York City displaying messages critical of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
“Inside the UN building, Iran’s president continues to lie to the world #UNGA; outside on the streets of NYC, we all know the truth: #RaisiTerrorist," said the ministry.
Several trucks are driving around New York City this week to protest Raisi and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Some feature pictures of Raisi painting him as a human rights abuser, according to images from the opposition Iranian Americans for Liberty group. The trucks are in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, where Iranian and scores of other international officials are in attendance.
