Prime Minister's Office:

"The call by the Pakistani Defense Minister for the destruction of Israel is outrageous. This is not a type of statement that can be accepted from any government, and certainly not from a country that claims to be a neutral party mediating for peace."

Regarding these remarks by the Pakistani Defense Minister: "Israel is evil and a curse to humanity, and while peace talks are taking place in Islamabad, a genocide is being carried out in Lebanon. I pray that the people who created this cancerous state on Palestinian land to get rid of European Jews will burn in hell."

Remember: Pakistani is a terrorist state. Their major export is terror

The Air Force attacked about 10 launchers that fired last night towards the north, and continues to locate and destroy launchers

How can such stupidity be allowed to mediate a war.

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry:

Netanyahu wanted us to attack Iran. He approached President Obama. He presented a presentation and asked to attack.

President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused. The only president who agreed, of course, was President Trump.

In other words, lucky to have Trump, the only one who cared about the State of Israel and its security. Unlike the other previous presidents who allowed Iran to arm itself all this time.
