Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in an interview that Iran and other actors may attempt to influence upcoming Israeli elections through attacks. He warned that such provocations are intended to cause his defeat, asserting that Israel's enemies desire his loss because they seek the elimination of Israel itself. Netanyahu declared his intention to complete the campaign against the Tehran regime, stating that 90% of the work is done but the "mullahs' regime" must be overthrown, along with Hamas and Hezbollah.
Netanyahu also discussed Israel's regional strength, claiming that following recent military victories, Israel is stronger than ever while the Iranian axis is weaker. He suggested that many countries, including some in Europe that publicly criticize Israel, are privately seeking its assistance. He declined to confirm or deny if Israel is aiding Saudi Arabia in its conflict with the Houthis but noted that numerous nations are interested in peace and normalization agreements with Israel, attributing this to Israel's newfound power.
During the interview, Netanyahu was informed of a statement of support from U.S. President Donald Trump. He responded that Trump is a true friend and that their partnership is a significant asset to Israel, particularly given the remaining two years of Trump's term, which he believes can be leveraged to advance Israel's security and diplomatic interests. Netanyahu sharply criticized Gadi Eisenkot, questioning his experience and qualifications to lead the country and form a government, particularly without the support of Arab parties. He framed the election as a choice between his government and a "left-wing government of Gadi Eisenkot and the Arab parties."
Netanyahu reiterated his commitment to eliminating the Iranian threat, stating, "As long as I am Prime Minister, and if you vote for me I will be Prime Minister, I will ensure the Iranian threat is eliminated once and for all. We are close." He urged his supporters to increase voter turnout to ensure his government's continued tenure.
