Only Trump and I will destroy the Iranian nuclear program
Thank you, Mr. President Trump, for your tremendous support and the joint work. Together we will complete the mission.
He will never disappoint your hopes.
I received confirmed information, and the Prime Minister's Office pledged to European Union countries that Ben Gvir and Otzma Yehudit will not be part of the next government.
The October 7, 2023 attack forced Israel to respond with full force. Through continuous fighting — from Gaza to Yemen, and from Lebanon to Iran — Israel was able to avert the imminent danger of nuclear annihilation and dismantled the grip of the Iranian axis. The government and the security cabinet made considered decisions, the IDF and security forces launched powerful strikes, and the internal civilian front held firm. The war of rebirth required rethinking the basic principles of the traditional national security concept, including: prioritizing prevention and offense over containment and defense, including carrying out a preemptive strike to thwart emerging threats; strengthening internal defense against new threats; entrenching Israel's position as a regional power; building maximum self-sufficiency in armaments; ensuring superiority in the latest technologies; and strengthening the fight against global antisemitism waves. At the same time, opportunities opened for establishing new alliances in our region and beyond.
What is required is the arrest of all those involved, the removal of any weapons outside legitimacy, and referring them to the competent judiciary.
We have no ceiling in the Dahr al-Baidar file and what followed except the ceiling of the law

decisive and dramatic
We assassinated Khamenei

As part of preparations for election week, the Israeli army is studying the possibility of preventing departure. Not based on an immediate official warning, but out of preparedness and vigilance given the sensitivity of this period.
Thank you for the massive support
Iran does not consider Netanyahu's rivals in these elections better than him in any way. On the contrary, Tehran sees Netanyahu as a more fragile enemy, more prone to retreat and being struck, given that he has become an exposed and isolated figure internationally, and is officially pursued by the International Criminal Court on charges of committing genocide.
Not wanting Netanyahu to win is one matter, and intervening in the Israeli elections to achieve this goal is a completely different matter; it is unlikely that Iran would have any actual intervention in these elections.
From Mamdani in New York to Erdogan in Istanbul, passing through the ayatollahs in Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, and Mahmoud Abbas, they all repeat one saying: Netanyahu must be defeated.
We are ready to launch a preemptive strike on Iran even without American help
I thank President Trump for his huge support and for the joint work, and together we will accomplish the mission
If Netanyahu does not win the elections, we will have to do the task against Iran ourselves, and I am not inclined to that
If Israel chooses anyone other than Netanyahu, it will be the wrong leader
Let us then establish an axis of peace and moderation against these barbarians who fire on their own people.
