‘We will cut off your fingers one by one’: Politician, activist Haddad receives death threats
Haddad, currently the second candidate on the People of Israel’s party list, is considered a hostile figure in Iran.
A series of emails arrived at the residence of Israeli politician and activist Yoseph Haddad on Tuesday, threatening to sever his fingers one by one and dismember his body along with that of Americans. The message concluded with a veiled threat, stating, "Damn you," according to the account of Dudi Avitan, Haddad's strategic advisor. The emails bear a strong resemblance to the language and mannerisms typically associated with figures from the Iranian regime, as Avitan stated in a declaration.
Haddad remained unconcerned by the threatening communications, dismissing them as predictable behavior from the Iranian regime. He further shared that he routinely receives explicit death threats on social media, which similarly fail to intimidate him. On the contrary, such threats only fortify his resolve. In his statement, Haddad reiterated his commitment to the State of Israel and Israeli society, asserting his determination to persevere despite the enemies who threaten them from Iran to Gaza. He concluded with an Arabic proverb, advising the Iranian adversaries to pave the ocean with tiles.
As per Avitan, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry has published a list of hostile individuals within Israel, prohibiting Iranians from contacting those on the list. Haddad, who currently holds the second position on the People of Israel's party list, finds himself near the top of Iran's list.
