Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday expressed support for protesters in Iran, saying Israel is closely monitoring developments as demonstrations spread across the country.
Addressing his cabinet in Jerusalem, Netanyahu praised what he described as the courage of Iranian citizens and condemned the killing of civilians.
“Israel is closely monitoring developments in Iran. The demonstrations for freedom have spread across the country. The people of Israel, and the entire world, are in awe of the immense courage of Iranian citizens,” Netanyahu said.
“Israel supports their struggle for freedom and strongly condemns the mass killings of innocent civilians. We all hope that the Persian nation will soon be freed from the yoke of tyranny, and when that day comes, Israel and Iran will once again be loyal partners in building a future of prosperity and peace for both peoples,” he added.
Protests have spread across Iran since December 28, initially sparked by rising prices and economic pressures, before widening into broader political demonstrations.
Iranian authorities have accused the United States and Israel of fomenting unrest, accusations which both countries deny.
The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) has said at least 466 people have been killed during the unrest, most of them protesters. Iranian officials have not confirmed the figure.
