Katz urges UK to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guards a terror organization
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleForeign Minister Israel Katz is reportedly urging the United Kingdom to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization.
In a meeting with his British counterpart Dominic Raab, Katz thanks the UK government for officially designating the Iran-backed group Hezbollah a terrorist organization earlier this year, but presses for the IRGC to also be included on the government’s terror blacklist.
According to reports in Hebrew-language media, Katz says the terror designation would be the “appropriate and justified response” to the attacks masterminded by IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani.
Pleased to meet Israeli FM @Israel_katz this afternoon. Israel remains a close partner and friend. I am sure the important UK-Israel relationship will continue to flourish as we leave the EU pic.twitter.com/nww7dqAGV9
