Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country is navigating complex days and is prepared for any scenario. He stated that he has conveyed a message to the Iranian system, warning that if Tehran commits what he described as the “biggest mistake” in its history by attacking Israel, the response would be a force “that they cannot even imagine.”
Netanyahu emphasized that this is not a time for debate. He called on the public to stand shoulder to shoulder, particularly during the upcoming Purim holiday, expressing confidence in the nation’s strength, its pilots, and its fighter jets.
