[3] 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." [12] [13] 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." [14]

Israel's reaction

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." [15]
