Although the Iranian regime routinely threatens Israel with extermination, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has offered to help save countless Iranian lives by providing drought-stricken Iranians with Israel's cutting-edge water technology.
In a clip posted to the Foreign Ministry's Persian language Facebook page and viewed over 10,000 times by Monday morning, Netanyahu made what he called "an unprecedented offer to Iran."
Netanyahu said the Iranian people "are victims of a cruel and tyrannical regime that denies them vital water. Israel stands with the people of Iran. And that is why I want to help save countless Iranian lives. Here's how: Iran's meteorological organization says that nearly 96% of Iran suffers from some levels of drought. Issa Kalantari, a former Iranian agricultural minister, said that 50 million Iranians could be forced out of their homes due to environmental damage. 50 million! Millions of Iranian children are suffering due to mismanagement, to incompetence and the theft of vital resources by the Iranian regime."
Nothing that "Israel also has water challenges," Netanyahu said, "We've developed cutting-edge technologies to address them. Israel recycles nearly 90% of its wastewater. That's far more than any other country on earth. We invented drip irrigation. Our technology targets individual plants with exactly the nutrients they need for each plant.
"Israel has the know-how to prevent environmental catastrophe in Iran. I want to share this information with the people of Iran. Sadly, Iran bans Israelis from visiting, so we'll have to get creative. We will launch a Farsi website with detailed plans on how Iranians can recycle their wastewater. We will show how Iranian farmers can save their crops and feed their families. The Iranian regime shouts "Death to Israel!" In response, Israel shouts, "Life to the Iranian people!" The people of Iran are good and decent. They shouldn't have to face such a cruel regime alone. We are with you. We will help so that millions of Iranians don't have to suffer. The hatred of Iran's regime will not stop the respect and the friendship between our two peoples."
The clip then directed viewers to a website where they would be able to find more information.
Hours after the video was posted, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei went on the attack against Israel, accusing Netanyahu of "playing the part of the victim" and telling European leaders that Iran "'wants to destroy our people, who number in the mere millions.' And the Europeans listen and nod their heads and refuse to tell him, 'You are perpetrating war crimes in Gaza and al-Quds [Jerusalem].'"
