Netanyahu Vows to Eliminate Iran's Regime, Hezbollah, and Pursue Peace with Lebanon

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Israel's commitment to dismantling Iran's regime, stating that this would be followed by the elimination of Hezbollah and the establishment of peace with Lebanon. He made these remarks at the opening ceremony for the academic year at the new Tel-Hai Academic University in Kiryat Shmona.

Netanyahu addressed the security efforts in the region, detailing how recent fighting has pushed back and damaged the Radwan force, creating a deep security buffer zone devoid of residents. He asserted that security forces have destroyed terrorist facilities both above and below ground.

The Prime Minister emphasized that the primary objective is the overthrow of Iran's terror regime. He revealed that he had discussed this matter with President Donald Trump multiple times, including recently. Netanyahu explained that without regime change in Iran, the country would attempt to develop nuclear weapons again and rebuild its influence, which would also lead to Hezbollah's elimination and peace with Lebanon.

Reflecting on his grandfather's vision for settling the Galilee, Netanyahu highlighted the university's establishment as a significant growth engine for the region. He urged the Education Minister and the university administration to develop joint programs with local industries, focusing on artificial intelligence. He concluded by stating that the government's main priorities are security, transportation, and higher education.
