Gideon Saari: “It is a disappointment that he was not convicted of attacking the embassy”
The Israeli deputy prime minister pointed to justice and demanded that Iran and Hezbollah be held accountable for the March 1992 attack.
Gideon Saar He apologizes in Spanish for just a few words. He attributes this lack to his father Samuel ZarechanskyAn Argentine doctor emigrated to Israel in the sixties. “My mother should have taught me Spanish, but I did not like it – I said (David) Ben Gurion “That, as Israelis, we should all speak Hebrew,” he said ᲔᲠᲘ Without removing the sound today Vice Prime Minister of IsraelWho took part last Thursday in commemorating the thirty-year-old victims of the attack on his country’s embassy in Buenos Aires.
Do not hesitate, the virtual number of the Jewish state is second and the main person of the government Naphtali Bennett He is “disappointed” with the complete absence of convicts in the attack. He hopes that justice will “judge the perpetrators” who Identifies with Iran and terrorist group with Hezbollah. In an attempt not to clash with the authorities – he was received by the President on Friday afternoon Alberto Fernandez – And after talking to opposition leaders Patricia Bulrich And Maximilian FerraroSaar confirms that if Tehran and allies such as Venezuela (in turn, an ally of the Casa Rosada) take advantage of the economic situation created by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, “the loser is the world.”
-Israel is accustomed to living with terror, both on its territory and abroad. Most of the attacks were cleared immediately. Why have you spent thirty years here and not been busy?
-it’s good It is disappointing. We know that Iranian regime officials are responsible and it is very clear that all those involved in this attack should be punished. I said this at the ceremony and I will say it today and I will include in this request the officers who were behind the AMIA attack.
– Judge Ricardo Lorenzetti said in 2015 that the investigation into the attack on the embassy was “res judicata” because in 1999 the Supreme Court attributed responsibility to “Islamic Jihad”, the armed wing of Hezbollah. Do you expect more from Argentine Justice?
-Justice will be restored only when the perpetrators are brought to justice, we hope so. This is what Argentine politicians expect and not only us.
– And what would be the right strategy for the responsibility of Iran and Hezbollah? The Argentine government agreed to the memorandum in 2013 and could not move forward …
-The best way is to try the criminals! I do not want to go into the details of the memorandum because it was declared unconstitutional by the Federal House, but it must happen. It was not just an attack on Israel’s diplomatic headquarters, it was an attack on Argentina and the Argentine people.

– Can Iran benefit from a nuclear deal with the United States?
-Almost no benefits and all costs [se sonríe]. We will have a much weaker deal than we had in 2015 because we are not trying to postpone the item. Sunset In the contract (deadline 2030). It will be a maximum two-and-a-half year agreement in which it will be limited to its nuclear program, after which it will immediately have the easing of sanctions on the Iranian regime, which will undoubtedly allow it to shift large sums of money to itself. Extremist and radical elements, including Hezbollah, are going to do serious damage to peace and stability in the Middle East. Attempting to get a deal at any cost is dangerous, Iran’s last demand is for the United States to stop calling its Revolutionary Guards a terrorist … unbelievable! It shows how bad and dangerous the deal is. The last thing the international community needs to reveal at this time is another manifestation of weakness.
– Does the misunderstanding of the attacks complicate the connection between Argentina and Israel?
– During my visit I participated in the meeting with the Argentina-Israel Chamber of Commerce, we can do a lot to improve economic issues, we must not forget that here is a large Jewish community and a significant number of Argentine Jews living. Israel, I think we can do a lot more. I can contribute because my father was born and raised here, it is part of my family history and they are two democracies that can work together. I also talked to the President of the Chamber of Deputies (Serge Mass) To deepen the parliamentary exchange between the two countries. There is already a commission in Israel headed by a deputy Ethan Ginsburg And we hope that here he will accelerate.
– The government has been sharply criticized for its initial position of not condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Is it possible, as Israel sought, to mediate in this conflict?
-First of all we We also condemn the invasion and consider it completely unacceptable. At the same time, we felt it was important to try what we could do to stop the escalation and the war. With each passing day we get closer to a more serious and dangerous situation, We are helping the Ukrainians from humanitarian aid and we hope this will happen as soon as possible. The President of Ukraine asked the Prime Minister Bennett for cooperation, I do not know if mediation is the right word, but the Prime Minister left for Moscow in agreement with Germany to deliver his messages. Ultimately, the parties must make decisions, we are not putting pressure on anyone, we want to help end this war. President on Sunday Vladimir Zelensky Speaking at a conference in front of the Knesset (Parliament) through a zoom, it is very important to put an end to this tragedy.
– Like other countries, such as Venezuela, and because of the consequences of the war, Iran today is in better terms negotiating with the United States and the European Union. Will Israel continue to accuse Tehran of supporting terrorism?
– Iran has a clear goal: the liquidation of the Jewish state, it is no secret. They work for it, but of course they will not succeed because we are going to defend ourselves. It is clear that if Iran wins, the world loses. The same goes for Venezuela: if they win, the world loses. If these totalitarian, intolerant, terrorist regimes enjoy it, it’s not good for anyone. Most of the Arab countries in the region do not want Iran to win, they say this more or less openly, they are also afraid of a nuclear Iran. The problem is the regime and not the Iranian people.
