Netanyahu vows to ‘restore security’ along border with Lebanon
Netanyahu has turned his attention to Hezbollah, connecting the group to Iran’s influence throughout the region and warning that Israel could use military force if diplomacy fails to secure an agreement regarding tensions on the border with Lebanon.
The Israeli leader said that tens of thousands of Israelis who have evacuated their homes near the border with Lebanon amid exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces have become “refugees in their own land,” and that Israel will do “whatever it must do” to restore security.
Netanyahu says ‘America has our back’
Following remarks about escalating attacks by the Yemen-based Houthi rebels, Netanyahu has thanked politicians from both the Democratic and Republican parties for their consistent support.
“As we defend ourselves on all fronts, I know that America has our back. And I thank you for it, all sides of the aisle,” he said.
Netanyahu says countries must join alliance to counter Iran
Netanyahu has said that a regional alliance must be forged to counter the influence of Iran, thanking Biden for his efforts to that effect and calling for an extension of the so-called Abraham Accords.
“I have a name for this new alliance. I think we should call it the Abraham Alliance,” he said, thanking Trump for his efforts promoting normalisation efforts between Israel and other countries in the region.
Netanyahu wishes Trump well after assassination attempt
The Israeli leader praised Trump for his support for Israeli priorities during his time as president, such as moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move that runs counter to international law.
“Like Americans, Israelis were relieved that President Trump emerged safe and sound from that dastardly attack on him, dastardly attack on American democracy. There is no room for political violence in democracies,” he said.
Critics in Israel have long held Netanyahu partly responsible for the assassination of former Israeli leader Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated by a right-wing extremist in the 1990s amid a tense atmosphere that critics say Netanyahu exploited for political gain and exacerbated with radical rhetoric.
