“Let me be clear: we still have goals to fulfill and we will achieve them either through an agreement or a resumption of hostilities,” Euronews quoted him as saying.
Netanyahu also responded to opposition leaders who rebuked him for agreeing to a truce before Israel had achieved its goals in the war.
Netanyahu put the elimination or at least serious degradation of Iran’s nuclear program as the main goal of the war, calling it an “existential threat” to Israel.
He also called for weakening Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities, weakening or possibly toppling the Iranian regime, and limiting Tehran’s regional influence.
“We have destroyed not only the missiles, but also the factories to produce them,” he said. – We have damaged Iran’s nuclear program by destroying critical infrastructure, and we have destroyed financial networks. We have destroyed thousands of militants, demonstrating that we can get to them anywhere.”
Netanyahu also paid tribute to Israel’s cooperation with the United States in the war, calling it unprecedented.
