Yair Golan, Chairman of the Democrats, stated on Friday at a conference in Rishon LeZion that the assassination of Ali Khamenei, the father, was a mistake. Responding to a question, Golan unequivocally said, "The assassination of Khamenei the father was a mistake. Not because he didn't deserve to die, but because it does not serve the interests of the State of Israel." He added that Khamenei the son is controlled by the Iranian ultra-extremist leadership. Golan further commented that an elderly and veteran leader presents a certain advantage, explaining that after Israel "shaved off" the leadership layer in Iran, "we are left with more extreme and violent people." Khamenei, who was the most powerful figure in the Shiite axis since 1989, was killed at age 86 in a surprise joint attack by the air forces of Israel and the United States. His body was recovered from a compound bombed in the opening strike of the operation in Iran, and documentation of it was shown to senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. After a six-day funeral procession, Khamenei was buried last July in Mashhad, his birthplace in northwestern Iran, near the Turkmenistan border. The funeral procession traversed Iran and several locations in Iraq, marking the largest event in the history of the Islamic Republic.
