“Last year, I stopped on this podium and showed this map. It shows the curse of the terrorist axis of Iran,” he said.
“This axis threatens the peace of the entire world. It threatened the stability of our region and the very existence of my country, Israel.”
Remembering the attacks led by Hamas on October 7, 2023, when the militants broke into Israel committing “indescribable savagery acts”, Mr. Netanyahu accused Iran and his allies throughout the region of hardening “a death rope around our throats.”
But last year he had transformed the balance of power, he added.
Enemy Axis ‘Listed’
“We have hammered the Hutis, including yesterday. We crush most of the Hamas terrorist machine. We there we Hezbollah, eliminating most of their leaders and much of their Arsenal weapons … and most importantly, we devastate the atomic weapons programs of Iran and Balistic missiles.”
He described the 12 -day war of Israel with Iran as a turning point, stating: “(USA) President (Donald) Trump and I promised to prevent them from developing nuclear weapons. And we fulfill that promise.”
Netanyahu warned that surveillance was essential, and “we should not allow them to rebuild their military nuclear capabilities,” he said, urging the UN sanctions against the country to be restored.
Returning to Gaza again, Prime Minister Netanyahu promised to eradicate the remaining forces of Hamas. “Hamas’ final remains are hidden in the city of Gaza. They promise to repeat the atrocities of October 7 again and again. That is why Israel must finish the work.”
Direction to hostages
He said that his words were broadcast live to Gaza and talked to the hostages that remained there: “This is the Netanyahu prime minister who tells you about the United Nations. We have not forgotten you. Not even for a second … We will not rest until we bring them all home.”
Netanyahu said that the decision of the leaders of France, Great Britain, Australia, Canada and other countries in recent days recognizing a Palestinian state was “a brand of shame” that rewarded “the wildest terrorists on earth.”
He insisted that Israel “will not allow him to push a terrorist state for our throats,” and added that he is not alone: ​​”My opposition to a Palestinian State is not simply my policies, or my government’s policy. It is the state’s policy and the people of the state of Israel,” he said.
“The rise of Israel did not mean that attempts to destroy us would end,” he added.
“It meant that we could fight those attempts. And that is exactly what Israel has done since October 7.”
