Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking at a meeting of the security cabinet soon after his phone call with US President Joe Biden, relates to the threats emanating from Iran.
“Iran has been acting against us for years — directly and via proxies. And, therefore, Israel acts against Iran and its proxies — defensively and offensively,” he says.
Netanyahu adds: “We will know how to defend ourselves, and we will act according to the simple principle: that those who harm us or plan to harm us, we will harm.”
