‘Gaza airstrikes to please Israeli public’

“The Zionist regime [of Israel] which has been badly defeated due to the victory of Islamist [politicians] in the [Middle East] region, is trying by launching airstrikes on Gaza to calm down the public opinion inside the occupied territories,” Evaz Heidarpour Shahrezaei said on Wednesday.

The lawmaker, a member of the Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, added that Israel has been unable to solve domestic economic problems and uses airstrikes on Gaza as a diversion tool.

“The most important reason why the Zionists martyr the people of Gaza is their fear of huge developments in the region and their effect on the Palestinians. Therefore, Tel Aviv has launched airstrikes on Gaza to prevent the spread of the Islamic Awakening to Palestine,” he said.

Over a dozen Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli attacks on Gaza since June 18.

The Israeli regime conducts airstrikes and ground attacks against the besieged Palestinian territory on an almost regular basis.

On June 13, Israeli President Shimon Peres was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by US President Barack Obama.

The 88-year-old criminal, who has overseen the killing of women and children by the Israeli forces in Palestine for decades, received the highest civilian honor in the United States.

The Tel Aviv regime has been recurrently bombarding Gaza ever since its war on the impoverished territory in December 2008 and January 2009, which killed more than 1,400 Palestinians and inflicted a damage of USD 1.6 billion on the region’s already-stagnant economy.
