⚡️🇮🇱❌🇮🇷❗️— Netanyahu addresses the nation: "Iran is weaker than ever, Israel is stronger than ever"

▶️Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began his address by stating that "tremendous achievements" had been made. He emphasized that Israeli fighters are on the front line, while citizens are in the rear.

▶️"We have achieved what until recently seemed unimaginable," Netanyahu said. "Iran is weaker than ever, Israel is stronger than ever. We have more goals to achieve, and we will achieve them either through negotiations or by resuming military action. Finger on the trigger."

▶️The Prime Minister also noted that the American decision on the ceasefire did not come as a surprise to Israel. He stressed: "This is not the end of the campaign — negotiations are merely a stage on the path to achieving our goals." According to Netanyahu, Iran's missile industry has been destroyed, and the enemy is firing only what remains of its stockpiles, producing no new missiles. Furthermore, the head of government stated that the ceasefire regime does not apply to Hezbollah. "Today it suffered its heaviest blow since the pager explosions [September 17–18, 2024]," he added.

▶️In conclusion, Netanyahu reaffirmed: "This is not the end of our campaign. We are ready to return to fighting. Our finger is on the trigger."
