Israel won't exist in 25 years

Last updated

Israel won't exist in 25 years is a statement of Ali Khamenei ( Supreme Leader of Iran ) in a speech about Israel after the Iran nuclear deal framework, [1] which was published on his Twitter. [2] [3] According to Khamenei's official website, this sentence was chosen as "the most important and memorable sentence of Khamenei" in 2015. This slogan is used in propaganda and also in the Quds Day. [4] [5] [6]

Contents

Khamenei has explained that the destruction of Israel is aimed at enmity with the Israeli government. [7] At the same time, this slogan was installed on the calendar board in Tehran city. [8] And the Tasnim news agency, affiliated to the IRGC, has attributed this slogan to Islamic awakening. [9]

During the 2023 Israeli judicial reform protests, Ali Khamenei and Ebrahim Raisi claimed that the fall of Israel will happen sooner than 25 years (until 2040). [10] [11]

Background

After the agreement in 2015 between Iran and the 5+1 group, Israel announced that there will be no worries about war between Iran and Israel and the security of the country of Israel is guaranteed for the next 25 years. [12] In response to Israel's statement, Khamenei said in a statement: "I tell you first that Israel will not see the next 25 years; Second, during this period, Iran will maintain the spirit of championship, seriousness, and jihad, and you will be worried every moment." [13] [14] On December 14, 2016, Khamenei repeated this sentence in his meeting with Ramadan Abdullah and said: "As we have said before, the Zionist regime will not have a foreign existence in the next 25 years under the condition of the general and united struggle of the Palestinians and Muslims against the Zionists." [15]

Israel's reactionary statement

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "Khamenei does not even allow the supporters of the agreement to move so that they can fantasize about it." [2] He also stated: "This will not happen. Israel is a strong country and will become stronger." [16]
