Iraq’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it ‘strongly condemns’ the remarks, which sought ‘to undermine security and stability in the region’. ‘The ministry considers these statements a blatant provocation and a clear violation of the sovereignty of states, a breach of international law, and the charter of the United Nations,’ it said. Hamas said: ‘Netanyahu’s comments in support of a so-called “Greater Israel” scheme reflect the “madness and delirium” that govern his behaviour and his extremist ruling gang. The resistance movement called on the international community to condemn such statements, take action to restrain Netanyahu and stop the brutal war against innocent civilians in Gaza. It also urged the world to counter the Israeli prime minister’s ambitions to expand aggression based on fascist prophecies and delusions that threaten regional and international security.
