In a video statement hours after a ceasefire between the US and Iran was announced, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks the Israeli public for their resilience.
“We accomplished together massive achievements,” he says, “our fighters on the front, and you in the rear.”
He says the “bottom line” of the campaign is that “Israel is stronger than ever, and Iran is weaker than ever.”
