Benjamin Netanyahu: We dealt a severe blow to the Iranian axis
Referring to dealing a severe blow to the Iranian axis, Benjamin Netanyahu announced the implementation of a change in the face of the Middle East.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video message released last night, Sunday, December 15, that "last year's speech about Israel changing the face of the Middle East is being implemented." He made these remarks last year, two days after the October 7 attacks, during a meeting with settlers who had been attacked.
Referring to his conversation with US President-elect Donald Trump regarding completing Israel's victory and confronting Iran's actions, Netanyahu added: "Syria is not the same Syria, Lebanon is not the same Lebanon, Gaza is not the same Gaza, and Iran, the leader of this axis, is not the same Iran, and it has tasted the power of our arm."
He also said in his video message: "Israel is acting with strength and consideration to ensure stability and security in the region and its borders, but that does not mean that there are no more challenges ahead of us. There are challenges. Iran and its bloodthirsty proxies, as well as other potential threats."
In this message, Netanyahu emphasized his unwillingness to go to war with Syria, adding: "Israel has no interest in conflict with Syria and will determine its policy toward Syria based on the reality on the ground."
He made these remarks while Israel has carried out airstrikes on various areas of Syria in recent days and has deployed its military forces to a buffer zone in Syrian territory, a move that has drawn international criticism. He also ordered the Israeli army to neutralize potential threats from Syria and prevent terrorist elements from approaching the border between the two countries.
In recent years, Iranian regime agents, with their military presence in Syria, have used Syria as a major route for transferring weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon, in addition to supporting the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Hezbollah's new Secretary General, Naim Qassem, announced on Saturday that the group had lost its military supply route through Syria.
Benjamin Netanyahu also referred to Naim Qassem's words and said, "This is further evidence that we have dealt a severe blow to the entire Iranian axis." He also warned Iran and Hezbollah, adding, "To prevent your actions against Israel, we will continue to take action against you anywhere and at any time, if necessary."
Netanyahu also emphasized that he informed Donald Trump of all the aforementioned matters during a very friendly, warm, and important conversation he had with him.
