Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls on the Iranian people to unite and rise up against the Iranian regime.
“Don’t miss the opportunity,” he says in a Hebrew-language video statement, “this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.”
“Soon your moment will come,” he says, “the moment when you must take to the streets in your masses, to take to the streets to complete the work to bring down the regime of horrors that embitters your lives.”
“Help has arrived,” Netanyahu says in English, calling on Iranians to join forces in toppling the regime.
