Israel Katz says Iran's supreme leader 'can no longer be allowed to exist'

Israel’s defence minister said on Thursday that Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “can no longer be allowed to exist” after Soroka hospital in southern Israel was hit during an Iranian missile attack, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports.

Israel Katz told journalists in Holon near Tel Aviv:

Khamenei openly declares that he wants Israel destroyed – he personally gives the order to fire on hospitals. He considers the destruction of the state of Israel to be a goal, reports The Guardian.

Such a man can no longer be allowed to exist.
