Text of report by Iranian radio on 3 April
The terroristic and repressive actions of the Zionist regime in the occupied territory of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip which were intensified after the assassination of the spiritual leader of Hamas, Shaykh Ahamed Yasin, continue.
The latest threatening statements made by Ariel Sharon, the criminal and expansionist prime minister of this regime, about the assassination of Yasir Arafat and Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah and the expulsion of Arabs living in the land occupied by Israel in 1948 after the completion of the so-called security wall in the West Bank, herald the terroristic and aggressive actions of the this regime in the future.
According to political analysts, if these threats materialize, the situation that existed in 1948, that is, the occupation of the Palestine and the declaration of the usurper Zionist regime which led to the homelessness of one million Palestinians, will be repeated, and probably most of the attempts that have been made since for the resolution of the Middle East problems will be rendered ineffective. Because, the recent actions of the Zionist regime for the expulsion of Arabs in the occupied Palestine which is estimated to be more than one million people, in addition to the attempts of this regime for the imposition of further restrictions in refugee camps in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip with the aim of making them to leave their homes, in the end will pit the Zionist regime against the Arab countries, of which Jordan and Egypt signed the so-called peace agreements with this regime. And should the terroristic actions of Tel Aviv spread to areas beyond Palestine, especially to Lebanon, the relative calm that exist along the Lebanese and the occupied Palestine border will be undermined and the situation in this region will be back to square one.
Therefore, it can be said that the Zionist regime by making new threats, is challenging the regional and international peace and is seriously undermining it, and with its policy of oppression and terror and by resorting to operations like the attacks by the soldiers of this regime to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, is challenging the Muslims to a fight. Therefore, the adoption of a decisive and serious stance by the world and regional communities, especially the UN Security Council, against this regime is important and any negligence in this connection will have in its wake the repetition of past atrocities.
