Turning to the fight against Iran’s proxies, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasts that Israel created security zones in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon.
“We will deal with” Hamas in Gaza, he promises.
Israel is also dealing with the missiles that Hezbollah still has, says Netanyahu.
Hezbollah also planned that “thousands of Radwan terrorists will covertly reach the border, will invade, and conquer the Galilee.”
“We are still fighting them, it’s not over,” he says.
Netanyahu says that Lebanon asked Israel several times over the past month to begin direct peace talks.
“I approved it,” he says, adding that there are two conditions — disarming Hezbollah, and a “real peace agreement” that will last for generations.
He asserts other countries are also reaching out to Israel.
Netanyahu claims that Iranian propaganda minimizing Israel’s achievements “is echoed in our media, and the propaganda of our political rivals is echoed in Iran.”
