Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "I said we would change the Middle East and we are doing so. I discussed with President-elect Trump the need to complete the victory."

"A year ago, I said something simple: We would change the face of the Middle East, and we are indeed doing so. Syria is not the same Syria. Lebanon is not the same Lebanon. Gaza is not the same Gaza.

"Your important visit, Mr. President, in the midst of this existential war that we are engaged in on seven fronts against those who seek to destroy us, and it is possible that we potentially face yet another front, is deserving of special appreciation.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, tonight, at a press conference:

"Yesterday, a new and dramatic chapter was opened in the history of the Middle East. Yesterday, the Assad regime in Syria, the main link in Iran's axis of evil, crumbled after 54 years.

facebook.com/IsraeliPM/post… Iran had invested billions in Syria, and it is all gone. This was a brutal dictatorship that trampled its citizens and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of them.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"This is a historic day for the Middle East. The collapse of the Assad regime, the tyranny in Damascus, offers great opportunity but also is fraught with significant dangers. This collapse is the direct result of our forceful action against Hezbollah and Iran, Assad's main supporters. It set off a chain reaction of all those who want to free themselves from this tyranny and its oppression.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"The length of the ceasefire depends on what happens in Lebanon. We will enforce the agreement and respond forcefully to any violation. We will continue united until victory."

We will complete the task of obliterating Hamas, we will bring home all our hostages, we will ensure Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel and we will return the residents of the north back home safely.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"The antisemitic decision of the international court in The Hague is a modern Dreyfus trial, and it will end the same way.

fb.watch/v-n3XJnJ1K/ One hundred and thirty years ago, the French Jewish officer Alfred Dreyfus was falsely accused of treason by a biased French court.

In response of these false accusations, the great French writer Émile Zola wrote his monumental essay, J’Accuse.

Prime Minister Netanyahu:

“One year ago, Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist chief of Hamas, launched the October 7th massacre against Israel.

It was the bloodiest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. It was the worst attack on the Jewish state since the founding of Israel. Sinwar’s terrorists murdered in cold blood 1,200 people. That's elderly people, Holocaust survivors, children.

They brutally raped women. They beheaded men. They burned babies alive.

And they took 251 women, men and children hostage to the dungeons of Gaza.

PM Netanyahu: "I appeal to the UN Secretary General; Your refusal to evacuate UNIFIL soldiers has turned them into hostages of Hezbollah."

"We are marking one year of the harsh war that was forced on us – the war of redemption against Iran's axis of evil, which has risen up to destroy us.

We are more determined than ever to ensure our future; we are more determined than ever to defeat our enemies.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

“Today, Israel is defending itself on 7 fronts against the enemies of civilization.

We are fighting in Gaza against Hamas, the savages who murdered, raped, beheaded and burned our people on October 7th. We are fighting in Lebanon against Hezbollah, the most heavily armed terror organization in the world, which was planning an even greater massacre than October 7th on our Northern border, and that has rocketed Israeli towns and cities for nearly a year.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Start of the Security Cabinet Meeting:

"This evening, Iran made a big mistake – and it will pay for it." Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Citizens of Israel, at the start of my remarks, I send condolences to the families of those who were murdered in the abhorrent terrorist attack in Jaffa and my best wishes for a quick recovery to the wounded.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening:

"If someone rises up to kill you, kill him first.'

Yesterday, the State of Israel eliminated the arch-murderer Hassan Nasrallah."

We have settled accounts with someone who was responsible for the murders of countless Israelis and many nationals of other countries, including hundreds of Americans and dozens of French.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"I have a message for the people of Lebanon:

Israel's war is not with you.
It's with Hezbollah.

For too long, Hezbollah has been using you as human shields. It placed rockets in your living rooms and missiles in your garage. Those rockets and missiles are aimed directly at our cities, directly at our citizens.

To defend our people against Hezbollah strikes, we must take out these weapons.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a security assessment at the Air Force operations center at the Kirya in Tel Aviv:

"I promised that we would change the balance of forces in the north – this is exactly what we are doing."

Prime Minister Netanyahu:

"I would like to clarify Israel's policy to whoever does not yet understand: We are not waiting for the threat, we are pre-empting it – everywhere, in every sector, constantly.

The fact that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acceded to every American proposal for releasing the hostages despite the ultimatum from elements in the coalition completely refutes the claim that he has torpedoed any deal whatsoever due to political considerations. On April 27th, the Prime Minister conveyed to the mediator a framework for releasing the hostages, which Secretary of State Blinken defined as being a very generous proposal.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at the start of the Government meeting today:

"This is a difficult day. An abhorrent terrorist murdered three of our citizens in cold blood at the Allenby Bridge.

"Israel is experiencing days of horror, sorrow and rage. A week ago, we experienced such horror.

Yesterday, I visited in Ashkelon the family of one of the hostages murdered in cold blood.

Days after Hamas executed six Israeli hostages, the UK government suspended thirty arms licenses to Israel. This shameful decision will not change Israel's determination to defeat Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organization that savagely murdered 1200 people on October 7, including 14 British citizens.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this morning:
"This is a difficult day for us.

Together with all citizens of Israel, I was outraged to the depths of my soul by the horrific, cold-blooded murder of six of our hostages: Carmel Gat,

Eden Yerushalmi,

Hersh Goldberg-Polin,

Alexander Lobanov,

Almog Sarusi,

and Master-Sergeant Ori Danino.

May G-d avenge them.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured the northern border today. He visited IDF Northern Command HQ and was briefed on the significant strike against Hezbollah as part of a pre-emptive attack to lift the threat from the terrorist organization, carried out on Sunday morning. PM Netanyahu then visited a kibbutz in the Upper Galilee together with the Head of Northern Command and 92st Division commander Brig.-Gen. Klefer, where he spoke with Golani Brigade 13th Battalion fighters and commanders, and representatives from the kibbutz emergency squad.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Since the beginning of the war, I have made it clear that we are in a fight against Iran's axis of evil. This is an existential war against a stranglehold of terrorist armies and missiles that Iran would like to tighten around our neck. In my address to Congress several days ago, I noted that the three main arms of this axis of evil are Hamas, the Houthis and Hezbollah, the three H's.

We have recently struck crushing blows on each one.

We meet today at a crossroads of history. Our world is in upheaval. In the Middle East, Iran's axis of terror confronts America, Israel and our Arab friends. It's a clash between barbarism and civilization. Between those who glorify death and those who sanctify life.
