Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar called on the European Union (EU) to put the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps on its list of terrorist organizations today in Prague, especially after its role in suppressing anti-regime protests in Iran.
"The regime of the Ayatollah (Ali Khamenei) is brutally slaughtering its citizens who are fighting for freedom. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has been spreading terror and instability in the Middle East for decades. Now they are leading the massacre of Iranian citizens. The Czech Republic supports designating the Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. I call on the EU: respond to the appeals of the people of Iran, designating the Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization," Saar said at a press conference.
Saar, who was received by the new Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš last night, also spoke today with Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka about the situation in Gaza.
The Israeli minister told reporters that Israel supports US President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, but in order for it to be implemented, the Palestinian organization Hamas must disarm and Gaza must be demilitarized.
When asked about Trump's proposal for a Peace Council, Gideon Saar only briefly replied that both the Israeli Prime Minister and the Russian President have been invited to the council.
"We will not comment on this for now because we have not been officially invited, so we cannot familiarize ourselves with the text of the charter," said Macinka.
Yesterday, the head of Czech diplomacy said that the Czech Republic does not even have to comment on the matter because it has not received an invitation, but he warned that the billion dollars that Trump is asking for membership is completely unthinkable for the Czech budget.
Regarding possible humanitarian aid from the Czech Republic under the new government to civilians, especially children in Gaza, Macinka said today that it is important for the new government to first see a ceasefire because it would be the greatest contribution to improving the humanitarian situation.
