Benjamin Netanyahu posted:

Today we marked the 34th anniversary of Prime Minister Menachem Begin, of blessed memory.

The State of Israel honors his tremendous contribution to the liberation of the homeland, to preventing a civil war at the dawn of our independence, to his bold action against the nuclear threat from Iraq, to opening our public life to all the communities of Israel, and to the historic peace agreement with Egypt.

On this day, we bow our heads in memory of Prime Minister Begin, one of the greatest leaders to arise for the State of Israel.

During an interview earlier this week with conservative commentator and influencer Tucker Carlson, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, citing Genesis 15, stated that Israel and the Jewish people have a “biblical right” to most of the Middle East, including the entirety of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and large parts of Egypt, Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, saying, “It would be fine if they took it all.”

Israel strikes Hezbollah terror assets in Lebanon

The Israeli Air Force carried out strikes in eastern Baalbek in Lebanon on Friday, killing at least seven terrorists from Hezbollah’s missile unit at three separate command centers.

The targeted terrorists were identified as working to accelerate the group’s operational readiness and weapons buildup while planning rocket fire and other attacks against Israel.

Their activities violated ceasefire understandings with Lebanon, the IDF said, stressing that Israeli forces remain committed to the truce.

Following the attack on the headquarters of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the Beqaa area: terrorists in the organization's missile array were eliminated

Yesterday (Friday), the IDF attacked in the Baalbek area and eliminated a large number of terrorists belonging to the missile array of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, in three different headquarters of the organization.

The terrorists were identified recently working to accelerate readiness and strengthening processes, planning fire towards the State of Israel and advancing terror routes that endanger IDF forces and Israeli civilians. The missile array is responsible for firing missiles and rockets towards the State of Israel and is currently working on planning such fire into our territory.

The terrorists' activity constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF will continue to act against attempts to rehabilitate and rearm the Hezbollah terrorist organization and will act forcefully to remove any threat to the citizens of the State of Israel.

The IDF remains committed to the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

Erdogan threatened Israel in his speech today:

"No matter how many atomic bombs Israel has, it is going to go!
This regime cannot preserve itself by force and nuclear weapons. History has shown that such regimes fall sooner or later."

My sources tell me the Arab world privately supports Israel’s campaign to destroy Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Publicly they condemn the war and oppose it for political reasons, but behind the scenes Sunni Gulf states and other key allies fully back Israel in neutralizing this existential regional threat.

The US Embassy of Bagdad today: The message and goal of President Donald Trump is clear. Israel’s Prime Minister is ‘on the same page with him’

De facto leader of Iran: Ali Larijani.

According to The New York Times, Khamenei has instructed Larijani to run the country since the January protests and directed him to ensure that the Islamic Republic survives even if Khamenei himself is eliminated.

It was also reported that Khamenei prepared an extensive succession plan for each of the military and governmental command positions that he personally appoints.
