‘Israel Stands With You’: Netanyahu Tells Iranians They’ll Be Free 'Sooner Than Thought’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a new message to Iranians on Monday said that Israel stands with them because they are being subjugated by the government.

“The people of Iran should know that Israel stands with you,” Netanyahu said, in a video message released on social media.

“Every day, you see a regime that subjugates you, makes fiery speeches about defending Lebanon and defending Gaza and yet every day that regime plunges our region deeper into darkness, deeper into war,” he said.

He also warned Iranians there was no place in the Middle East beyond Israel’s reach, as his military launched strikes on the Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.

“There is nowhere in the Middle East Israel cannot reach,” Netanyahu said in a video statement issued in English, warning the people of Iran that their “regime plunges our region deeper into darkness and deeper into war”.

“When Iran is finally free — and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think – everything will be different,” he said.
