Prime Minister Netanyahu:

Radical leftists and radical Islam have destroyed countries far larger than Israel.

They destroyed France. They destroyed Britain.

Statements by Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, regarding Iran:

As long as this regime exists, even if it is weak and damaged, it is so fanatical that it will be rebuilt and will continue with the actions it intended to take last year, which we prevented: the production of nuclear bombs and the reconstruction of its regional influence.

Prime Minister Netanyahu on the Islamic Republic:

"All American cities could be targets of these lunatics. Trump thinks like me, and he understands that this is a threat that must be eliminated."

Senior Hamas Security Official in Gaza Eliminated

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet (Israel's internal security agency) announced the elimination of Akram Bassam Shabaan Yassin, a senior official in Hamas's security apparatus in the Gaza Strip, in an airstrike in Gaza City.

According to the IDF, Yassin was involved in directing terrorist activities against Israeli forces and civilians, and in efforts to rebuild Hamas's military capabilities. He was also responsible for protecting senior Hamas leaders, gathering intelligence on Israeli forces, and providing intelligence support for the group's operations.

Israel stated that this operation is part of ongoing efforts to eliminate senior commanders within this structure and to weaken Hamas's security and intelligence capabilities.

Trump on Iran: We just have to make the final decision about Iran. What path do we want to take to victory? A peaceful one, or one that is not peaceful?
But we are doing very well.

Trump, the President of the United States, on Iran:

We recently neutralized a nuclear bomb from the worst country in the world (Iran), and our gas prices – which are a minor issue – are lower than they were when Mr. Obama and Joe Biden were in power.

Trump on Iran:

If a potential threat arises, which may happen, I hope you won't be upset if I am very, very tough with them (the Iranian government);
Because that is exactly what will happen. They will destroy our country. We will not allow them to destroy our country.

Imagine a religion that makes you believe drinking alcohol is haram but killing people is okay.

The world has an Islamic problem.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz, at an officer training graduation ceremony:

"The Iranian regime is at its weakest point in its entire history; and we recognize that this weakness may lead it to take the most extreme actions, including actions against the State of Israel.

If Iran attacks Israel, we will set Iran on fire!"

Netanyahu, at the closing ceremony of the officers' training course: Officials in the Islamic Republic of Iran wanted to destroy us through sanctions - we struck at the octopus's tentacles, Hamas, and Gaza.

Netanyahu: The people of Iran want Israel to win

Netanyahu on Iran:

In Iran, they hope that Israel will succeed.

This is a crucial mission.

Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Zamir:

The Israel Defense Forces are stronger than ever. Our enemies are weaker and more vulnerable than ever.

We will not allow our enemies to regain power and raise their heads again.

We will continue to fight our enemies and threats, and we will neutralize them the moment they emerge.

Elon Musk on Israel:

The neighboring countries have tried to annihilate Israel several times. Not once, multiple times.

In Israel, they realize that if you let people into Israel who want to kill Israelis, they will do so.

They're quite pragmatic about this, and they try to make sure that doesn't happen.
