This regime is already collapsing and faltering as a result of the intense attacks we have carried out in cooperation with our American friends, and of course, under the leadership of President Donald Trump.

We also have the ability to act independently, and I advise none of our enemies to test us in any front. We will act with great force.

Regarding all our plans, I don't think it's appropriate to detail them here, but I want to say that my approach is not based on containing attacks and accepting them, but quite the opposite: initiative and prevention.

Do not test us, enemies, because you will receive blows you could not imagine," - Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, in a phone interview with Israeli Channel 14.
