Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz accused on Thursday Iran of attempting to establish an “eastern terror front” against Israel via Jordan, the Times of Israel reported.
Katz — who has faced some criticism for his style of online diplomatic attacks — published an AI-generated image showing Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei as an octopus with many tentacles.
The foreign minister said the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is smuggling weapons from Syria into Jordan, “attempting to destabilize the regime and turn the Israel-Jordan border from a peaceful one into a volatile front.”
The weapons are then brought into the West Bank, he added, “where an Iranian-Hamas terror infrastructure is being established.”
Katz called for a security fence to be built “quickly” along the Israel-Jordan border, something that has been promised for more than a decade by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but has been dismissed by security officials as a pipe dream.
