🇮🇱 NETANYAHU FULL STATEMENT:
“Dear citizens of Israel, my dear brothers and sisters,
The term of the campaign has come to an end, but it is already clear that we have historical achievements. I want to remember where we were. Iran tried to catch us off guard.
Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Assad regime in Syria, the militias in Iraq, the foreigners in Yemen, Iran itself. They wanted to subdue us, and we are subduing them. They threatened us with destruction, and now they are fighting to survive.
We have defeated them, we still have a lot to do, and I will explain this later. But I want to start with Iran itself, with the head of the organization. I have dedicated a significant part of my life to preventing one thing, that this terrorist regime will achieve a nuclear weapon.
I have spoken about this at the Congress, the UN, and in various parliaments. But the world has not heard. Many have said, this is not that terrible. I have even heard them within us. And I, as the Prime Minister of Israel, could not accept this.
We were the first to break the barrier of fear, operating in Iran itself. If I had told you a year ago that our pilots would fly in Iran, who would have believed it? And that the United States would fight alongside us, shoulder to shoulder, for nearly 40 days—who would have believed it?
But all of this happened because we initiated, we acted, we attacked. Iran was very close to obtaining nuclear weapons and the ability to produce thousands and thousands of missiles—two existential threats we were determined to remove.
We eliminated 12 of their top nuclear scientists. We attacked their nuclear facilities together with our American friends. We also attacked thousands of missiles and hundreds of launchers.
Later, we eliminated eight more nuclear scientists, destroyed the reactor in Arak, destroyed their centrifuge system and uranium production plant. We reached a point where Iran does not have a single active enrichment plant.
We also weakened the regime to its lowest level since it was established 47 years ago. We eliminated senior leadership across the regime, struck Revolutionary Guards infrastructure, and targeted their economic and military capabilities.
Iran is no longer the same Iran, and Israel is no longer the same Israel. They who dared to destroy us are now fighting for their own survival.
In Gaza, we control more than 50% of the territory. In Lebanon, we destroyed the majority of a 150,000 missile arsenal in six hours and prevented infiltration plans into the Galilee. We continue to fight Hezbollah and restore security to the north.
As a result of this strength, Lebanon has approached us multiple times to begin direct peace talks—something that has not happened in history.
Many countries are now turning to us and to the United States for cooperation. Israel is stronger than ever—small in size, but huge in spirit and determination.
These are historic achievements. We bombed the nuclear weapons, we bombed the missiles, we bombed the regime. Together with the United States, we have changed the balance of power.
There is still a long way to go. But with our brave soldiers, our fallen heroes, and the strength of our people—we will continue.
And with God's help, we will continue to work together, and we will continue to win.”
