Who will enter Iran by June 30?Benjamin Netanyahu

Excerpt from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remarks, today, at the Federation of Local Authorities in Israel Conference: • “It’s true, Hezbollah is still in Lebanon, but there is something else there now. Today, there is a security zone there that prevents Hezbollah and its remnants from invading the Galilee, because that was the plan. We are destroying all of this underground infrastructure. I was there in southern Lebanon and I saw it; it’s unbelievable. It is simply different. • • We still have work to do, especially on what I call the 'Manhattan Project' – we will be the first in the world to solve the explosive drone problem, which is a global issue, and we are solving it. • • 'But you haven't solved it 100%.' True, but we are on our way. If we had followed your suggestion to stop at Rafah, we would have gotten nada, zero, gornisht, nothing. I don't know how many languages are spoken here. Zero. That is not who we are. • • And then we continued – Syria. Here, too, they told us not to enter; they said it wasn't wise, speaking with such hesitation. We entered with all our might, and we also saved our Druze brothers, whom I salute. We will protect our Druze brothers and we will never abandon them. We have protected them, and we will protect them! • • And then we did what no one believed we would do. Because over the years, I have dedicated most of my adult life to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons; I saw it as an existential threat to our survival. I do not want the thousands-of-years-old existence of the Jewish people to be cut short by these Ayatollahs acquiring nuclear weapons. • • We carried out operations, mostly with the Mossad, inside Iran, all kinds of operations, but they told us: 'A military operation in Iran? You are forbidden from doing that.' 'Eliminating the leadership of Iran? No, no, not that.' So I did not listen to them, and I led Operation Rising Lion. I chose this name, 'A people shall rise like a lion' – because we have a nation of lions and an army of lions, and I told them: 'Go in – we will enter with all our might.' • • I also told President Trump, well, two presidents, Biden first of all, when they told me 'Do not enter Rafah.' Do you know why they said 'Do not enter Rafah'? Because the President of the United States said he would halt the weapons supply. I said I respect him very much, and he even came here at the beginning of the war, but we have no choice, we will enter – and if we must, we will fight with our fingernails. Because there are moments when you must know how to tell even the President of the United States what we stand for. • • When I came to President Trump before Operation Rising Lion, I told him: 'We are going into Iran, because I am not waiting for these oppressors who declare openly that they want to destroy us, and you too, by the way, I told him, but us first. I will not let that happen. Therefore, we are taking action.' I didn't ask for permission; I simply informed him of our plan. To my joy, he also joined toward the end with a very important action. • • But they said 'it’s impossible.' Don't do it. Don't get entangled, because Iran will come and destroy our cities and our citizens, and thousands, if not tens of thousands, will die. So the very same people who told us don't enter Gaza, don't enter Rafah, don't enter Lebanon, don't enter Syria, don't enter Iran, Master of the Universe, don't destroy their leadership... Today, they come and tell us, 'But you didn't finish the job.' They, who wanted zero, come and tell us, 'You didn't achieve 100%, only 80-90%.' There is still work to do, it is not over, that is true, but who will do it? If you don't have true leadership, not what they put in the talking points of various advertising agencies. • • When you are tested on the ground, just as our commanders are tested on the ground, then the only thing that speaks is the result. And the result is monumental! There is still work to do in Gaza, in Lebanon, and against Iran, but I want to tell you two things: As long as I am Prime Minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons. And one more thing: As long as I am Prime Minister, we will maintain the security zone in southern Lebanon. For as long as it takes, we will maintain the security of the North, and together, we have also done a great deal for prosperity."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: We are confronting Iran and its proxies, and this is not over yet. We have struck them. I want independence in the field of armaments. I greatly appreciate the support we have received, and I have also brought it over the years from our American friends. We need our own independent weapons system. We produce our own weapons. We must free ourselves from dependence and build more strength.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a meeting with participants of the reserve combat officer course in the Gush Etzion region, said that the confrontation with the Islamic Republic and its affiliated forces continues and that the future of Israel will depend on the strength of this country. Netanyahu said: "We are now standing against the Islamic Republic and its affiliated forces. We have struck them. This matter is not over yet, but it depends on our strength." He added that Israel's position in the coming decades depends on the country's capabilities and strength, and for this reason, the Israeli government is strengthening its capacities. The Israeli Prime Minister said: "Where we will be in 30 years depends on our strength. "That's why what we're doing now is building more power." The Israeli Prime Minister also stressed the need to achieve weapons independence, saying: "I value the support we've received from our American friends, but we must free ourselves from this dependence and create an independent weapons structure for ourselves."

Benjamin Netanyahu: We are now facing the Islamic Republic and its allied forces. We have struck them, but this confrontation is not over yet, and the future of Israel depends on its strength.

Axios: Two Israeli sources said the Israeli government is concerned that the United States, through new understandings reached in Switzerland and a memorandum of understanding signed with Iran last week, is effectively legitimizing Iranian influence in Lebanon and undermining Israel's freedom of action there. Israeli officials worry that the new understandings will undermine months of US and Israeli efforts to weaken Hezbollah and reduce Iranian influence in Lebanon. More immediately, they are also concerned about Washington's opposition to any strikes on Lebanese soil, or Trump's pressure to withdraw from southern Lebanon while the Hezbollah threat still exists. Israeli sources claim that the new US-Iranian agreements on Lebanon undermine previous understandings between the Netanyahu government and the Biden administration in 2024, which were also approved by the new Trump administration. Under the Lebanon ceasefire agreement in November 2024, brokered by the Biden administration, Israel reserved the right to take action against imminent as well as emerging threats from Hezbollah. Under the current circumstances, Israel’s freedom of action appears to be limited to only imminent threats. And while the previous ceasefire monitoring mechanism included Israel, Lebanon, the United States and France, this time Israel is not a direct member, but Iran is. An Israeli source said that while the nuclear parts of the US-Iran deal are worrying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he is currently far more concerned about the Lebanese part. One reason is that Israel’s actions against Hezbollah have enormous domestic political significance ahead of the October elections. “Netanyahu is hysterical about it,” the source said. In recent days, Netanyahu has asked Ron Dermer, a close confidant who left the government a few months ago, to immediately use his connections with the Trump team to try to influence US-Iranian talks on Lebanon, the source claimed. Dermer's involvement led to a post on Truth Social in which Trump threatened to hit Iran if Hezbollah was not reined in. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is willing to accept the new mechanism, provided it is led by the United States, according to a Lebanese official./Election

"Together with the United States, we have crushed the evil regime in Iran," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Newsmax about the end of the war with Iran: "I will not set a timetable for the end of this war."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "We continue to vigorously attack the targets of the Iranian terrorist regime. Last night we eliminated the commander of the Revolutionary Guards Navy. This man has a lot of blood on his hands, and he is also the one who led the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. "This is another example of the cooperation between us and our friend the United States, with the common goal of achieving the goals of the war."
