Iran‘s foreign minister declared on Tuesday that ‘time is OVER’ for Israel, as Joe Biden arrived in Tel Aviv to try and calm a rapidly-spiraling situation, with anti-Israel protests flaring up across the region.
An air strike on a Gaza hospital on Tuesday evening, killing at least 500 people according to Palestinian authorities, enraged people around the world. Israel and Palestinians both blame each other for the atrocity.
Demonstrators in Beirut briefly set the U.S. embassy on fire in anger at the killings, and in Amman dozens of protesters attempted to storm the Israeli embassy.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran’s foreign minister, arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday after the hospital bombing – a remarkable show of unity between two former sworn enemies.
Saudi Arabia and Iran in March agreed a Chinese-mediated détente and have moved toward reopening diplomatic missions in each other’s countries: Amir-Abdollahian visited Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, in August.
On Tuesday, Amir-Abdollahian, in Saudi for a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, issued a stark threat to Israel, blaming them for the hospital bombing.
‘After the terrible crime of the Zionist regime in the bombing and massacre of more than a thousand innocent women and children in the hospital, the time has come for the global unity of humanity against this fake regime more hated than ISIS and its killing machine,’ he tweeted.
‘Time is OVER.’
