In Gaza, we destroy not only what is underground but also all the houses.

Today, nearly 70% of Gaza has been destroyed.

Twenty-four Lebanese villages, hundreds of years old—we destroyed all the buildings, not house by house but entire villages.

Their destruction has been completed. You need to understand: 15,000 to 20,000 homes across all 24 villages have been destroyed.

Netanyahu achieved what Churchill failed to do in World War II.

He brought Trump together with us to attack Iran—bringing the United States to strike before another Pearl Harbor occurred.

Today there is no Shuja'iyya; there is no Jabalia. All of these terrible places you remember no longer exist.

The Southern Command chief told me, "I don't see any houses—I see the seashore."

We destroyed Gaza.

The great Persian Empire, arrogant and boastful, which sought to destroy Israel, has collapsed.

We are not the collapsing Christian empire. Jerusalem is not Constantinople, which you conquered when you built the Ottoman Empire.

We are here forever. Jerusalem is ours forever. We know how to defend ourselves, and we are strong.

Don't mess with us. My advice to Erdoğan is not to mess with us and not to put himself in the position that Iran put itself in. He still has plenty of room to avoid that.

Instead, he should take care of Türkiye and its own affairs. We will take care of our own interests, and we will continue to do so.

We very much want to strike Iran's energy targets.

The United States is not approving it at the moment because of the concern that Iran would attack neighboring countries and trigger a global oil crisis.

Saudi Arabia needs peace with the State of Israel much more than we need peace with Saudi Arabia.

Today everyone sees the State of Israel as the strongest power in the Middle East.

If you look at the map, you'll see that ground infrastructure can be laid from the Gulf states all the way to the Mediterranean — and from the Mediterranean, it can flow to Europe.

This is a very big interest for the Saudis, because the Saudis understand oil is their main source of income. The last war shows that you need not only a source of energy but also a route to export it.

I estimate that in a few years, if a confrontation breaks out in our region, the Straits of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb will no longer be able to be a threat or a card for Iran.

I estimate four to five years for the alternative to be ready.

"Netanyahu will come; he'll make his promises, and then we'll have to check everything out," one senior U.S. official said.

Lindsey Graham loved golf, but he wasn't born to be a golfer.

He was born to be a politician, not a golfer.
