Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid have bene alarmed by reports that the US is considering removing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ‘terror label’.

In remarks on Friday, Bennet and Lapid said they found the reports “hard to believe,” Israeli media reported.

“The Revolutionary Guards are behind the attacks on American civilians and soldiers throughout the Middle East, including in the past year. They are the ones behind the plans to assassinate senior American government officials,” The Jerusalem Post quoted them as saying.

“The attempt to abolish the definition of the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization is an insult to the victims and the erasure of a documented reality, which has unequivocal evidence.”

“We find it hard to believe that the definition of the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization will be abolished in exchange for a ‘promise not to harm the Americans,” Bennett and Lapid added, according to JPost.
