Jordanian TV host Dr. Bakr Al-Abadi said that in 1967, “the Zionist entity gathered all the rats carrying the Bubonic plague in Norway” and released them in Egypt, where they harm crops and children.

He also said that they smuggled “chemical fertilizers and rotten seeds” into Egypt, causing great damage to agriculture.

“The clear goal is to annihilate the Arab world,” he asserted.

Al-Abadi, speaking on the Jordanian Prime TV channel on March 13, further said that Israel developed the Bubonic plague and the Ebola virus, and “has harnessed scientific and technological development in the service of its evils and to satisfy its criminal urges.”
