Benjamin Netanyahu has made several significant claims in his recent statements, particularly in the context of ongoing events in the Middle East. Here’s a summary of key points from recent reports (as of June 13, 2025):
See less* Strikes on Iran: Netanyahu announced that Israel has launched “Operation Rising Lion,” a targeted military operation against Iran. He claimed that Israel has targeted Iranian scientists “working on the Iranian bomb” and that the strikes “would continue for as many days as it takes” to remove the threat from Iran’s potential nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. He also stated that Israel had informed the US of these strikes in advance.
* Preventing a Nuclear Iran: He reiterated his long-standing commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, calling it his “most important mission to ensure the existence and future of the State of Israel.” He claimed that Israel’s actions have delayed Iran’s nuclear program, but haven’t stopped it, and urged the UN Security Council to snap back sanctions against Iran.
* Hostage Negotiations: Netanyahu claimed “significant progress” in hostage talks with Hamas, although this assertion was reportedly rejected by an Arab official familiar with the negotiations. He emphasized that Israel is working tirelessly to bring all hostages home.
* War in Gaza and Hamas: He affirmed Israel’s determination to achieve all war objectives in Gaza, including eliminating Hamas’s military capability and political rule, bringing all hostages home, and ensuring Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel. He has also reportedly admitted to “activating” some anti-Hamas Palestinian clans in Gaza.
* Regional Strategy: Netanyahu has framed Israel’s actions as part of a larger regional struggle against Iran, which he identifies as the force behind various terrorist groups and destabilizing activities. He has stated that Israel is fighting a “seven-front war” and is “changing the face of the Middle East.” He has also emphasized Israel’s willingness to act unilaterally when necessary, even when differing with allies like the US on specific actions.
* Role Model: He cited Winston Churchill as his role model for rallying the “liberal West” to fight against a brutal enemy.
* Self-Defense: He consistently asserts Israel’s right to self-defense in the face of perceived threats.
