Bat Yam Mayor's Compensation Plan: "We Want Iran to Pay"
Bat Yam Mayor Zvika Brot announces a lawsuit against Iran for compensation for damage caused by a missile that destroyed a neighborhood in the city. In an interview with 103fm, he reveals a plan to collect the funds from vast Iranian assets held in Israel.
Bat Yam Mayor Zvika Brot is embarking on a legal battle against Iran to obtain compensation for the damage caused to the city by an Iranian missile that destroyed a neighborhood. In an interview with 103fm, he explains that the lawsuit was filed with the Jerusalem District Court, and the intention is to realize the funds from vast Iranian assets held in Israel for decades, which he estimates at least $1.5 billion. Brot emphasizes that this is a real legal step and not a media gimmick, and that other mayors have expressed interest in joining the lawsuit. He claims that the Revolutionary Guards are defined as a terrorist organization in the US and Europe, so Iran will not be able to sue Israel in response.
