Avi Kaner, a prominent advocate for peace and cooperation across the Middle East, has become one of the loudest voices calling for unity between Israel, the Arab world, and a free Iran. In this exclusive discussion, he outlines his views on the ideological threat posed by Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, the role of regional powers in confronting extremism, and his message of hope to the Iranian people.
Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Khamenei: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Question: Do you think that Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood are two sides of the same coin — namely, Khamenei?
Avi Kaner: Hamas is not an independent movement. It is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Its ideology, leadership, and mission come directly from that organization’s radical worldview. The Muslim Brotherhood and the mullahs in Tehran are two sides of the same coin.
One spreads the poisonous ideology, and the other funds, arms, and unleashes it. Together, they seek to dominate nations near and far, weaken the West, and crush any vision of a free and modern Middle East.
Avi Kaner on the Forces of Progress and Partnership
Question: What is the positive role of Israel, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and the Shah of Iran in preventing such movements?
Avi Kaner: On the other side stand the forces of progress. Israel fights on the front line every day to defend freedom and protect the region from terror.
The United States provides the power and leadership needed to confront tyranny. The United Arab Emirates has shown the Muslim world that peace and partnership with Israel bring prosperity, not weakness.
And under the Shah, Iran itself was a modern, forward-looking nation that shaped the region’s future instead of sabotaging it. That history proves that Iran’s destiny is far greater than the darkness imposed by the current regime.
Religion as a Mask for Terror
Question: What is your belief about these groups hiding behind the name of religion to carry out their terrorist objectives?
Avi Kaner: These extremist groups hide behind religion to justify their brutality, but their actions expose the lie. True faith uplifts and values life.
Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the mullahs desecrate it to gain power and spread fear. Their cruelty is not holiness. It is tyranny disguised as religion.
Avi Kaner’s Message to the People of Iran
To the brave people of Iran, your future does not belong to the corrupt clerics in Qom and Tehran. It belongs to you.
A free Iran can once again be a beacon of science, culture, innovation, and strength. It can build friendships with Israel, the West, and its Arab neighbors.
It can lead the region toward peace and progress instead of holding it hostage to hate.
And I want to thank the countless Iranians who, despite living under oppression, have shown courage and solidarity with the people of Israel as we have fought against these terrorist forces.
Your voices and your support matter deeply. They remind us that the Iranian people are not the enemies of Israel.
On the contrary, you are natural allies in the struggle against tyranny and extremism. That future of partnership and peace is possible, and we will stand proudly with you when you rise to claim it.
