Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared yesterday that Israel has destroyed Iran's nuclear project in an operation he called "Lion's Den", hours after a ceasefire took effect and following a sharp diplomatic confrontation with US President Donald Trump. In a classified statement delivered to the media, Netanyahu claimed that "we removed two immediate existential threats" and that "the opening blow will be recorded in the annals of history".

The operation, which lasted 12 days according to the Prime Minister, included the elimination of senior command in Iran, destruction of central nuclear facilities, and extensive strikes throughout the country. Netanyahu claimed that "in one swift action we eliminated Iran's senior command, including three chiefs of staff and additional senior officials, eliminated the senior nuclear scientists who led the nuclear program and sought to bring destruction and death upon us".

The targets attacked included the enrichment facility at Natanz, the conversion facility at Isfahan, and the heavy water facility at Arak. Netanyahu noted that under Trump's guidance, the US military destroyed the facility at Fordow, while Israel simultaneously attacked "dozens of facilities including laboratories and centrifuge manufacturing plants." According to him, "we completed the mission and struck the entire archive, which concentrated all of Iran's knowledge for creating an atomic bomb".

The Prime Minister emphasized that the operation also eliminated Iran's missile threat. "Iran's intention to threaten Israel with thousands of ballistic missiles has been removed", he said, detailing that "we destroyed headquarters, attacked Revolutionary Guard bases, Basij bases, and attacked symbols of the regime". The heaviest blow was delivered "several hours before the ceasefire", when "we eliminated hundreds of regime operatives in the most devastating attack Tehran has seen in the last fifty years".

Despite the tense conversation with President Trump that occurred just hours before the statement, Netanyahu thanked him for assistance in the war. "I thank you on behalf of my friend President Trump and the United States for their part in defending Israel and removing Iran's nuclear threat", the Prime Minister said. "The United States' participation not only on the defensive side is a historic event, this has never happened before. Israel has never had a greater friend than Trump in the White House, and I thank him greatly for the joint work".

However, behind the expressions of appreciation, a sharp diplomatic confrontation between the two leaders was revealed. President Trump declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran that took effect at seven in the morning, but two and a half hours later expressed dissatisfaction with both sides' behavior. "I'm not satisfied with both sides, and especially not with Israel", the President said before boarding Air Force One on his way to the NATO summit in the Netherlands. "Both countries violated the ceasefire. I didn't like that Israel discharged ammunition after declaring it".

The presidential criticism intensified on his social media platform, where Trump wrote: "Don't drop the bombs. If you do this, it's a serious violation. Bring your pilots home now". The President added that "Israel needs to calm down, I have to make it happen. I'll see if I can make this happen".

Sources in Washington and Jerusalem revealed that Trump conducted a tense conversation with Netanyahu, during which he physically stopped a planned Israeli attack in Tehran. Ultimately, Netanyahu convinced the American President to agree to only a symbolic response against an Iranian radar, and all Israeli aircraft that were defined by Trump as "friendly" turned around and returned home.

The ceasefire came after Iran fired missiles toward Israel that were successfully intercepted, leading the Chief of Staff and Defense Minister to announce their intention to respond. Trump refused to blame Iran for violating the ceasefire and criticized the Israeli response, despite the fact that the response ultimately amounted to a symbolic strike on a radar.

The Israeli government officially approved the ceasefire more than two hours after it took effect, stating that "Israel has removed a double immediate existential threat: both in the nuclear domain and in the ballistic missile domain". Despite the achievements claimed for the operation, Netanyahu emphasized that "we are not complacent or secure, quite the opposite", and referred to the Gaza arena where Hamas is still operating.

"We must defeat Hamas and free all the hostages", Netanyahu said. "To the families of the hostages I say we have not stopped for a moment, including during the war, our efforts to bring all our hostages home, and we will not relent from this sacred mission until it is completed".

Operation "Lion's Den" is described by the Prime Minister as a "historic victory" that will stand for generations, where "the opening blow will be recorded in the annals of Israel's wars and will be studied by all the world's armies". Netanyahu warned that if anyone tries to rehabilitate Iran's nuclear project, Israel will act "with the same determination and power to cut down any such attempt".

The diplomatic confrontation with Washington testifies to the tension inherent in the relationship, even when both leaders define each other as close friends. While Netanyahu speaks of Trump as "the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House", the American President expressed frustration with Israel's conduct even after the ceasefire, indicating the complications that could develop in the international arena following the operation.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced last night via his social media platform that a ceasefire had been achieved between Israel and Iran, promising an end to what he called the "12-day war". The announcement surprised the world as the Israeli Air Force continues to conduct extensive strikes in Tehran and across Iran, while Iran presents a contradictory position – on one hand denying a formal agreement and on the other signaling its intention to stop responses if Israel halts its attacks.

In a dramatic tweet published at night, Trump wrote: "I am happy to congratulate the courage and wisdom to end the '12-day war.'" According to him, a graduated framework was achieved whereby, if everything "goes well", an official declaration ending the war with Iran is expected to be received on Wednesday around 7:00 AM. Trump added: "This will last forever. A wonderful day for the world".

Following the announcement, it emerged that behind the scenes a complex diplomatic process had been conducted through Qatar's mediation. An official Reuters source revealed that Trump spoke with the Emir of Qatar and told him that Israel had agreed to the proposal, while Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani in turn secured Iran's agreement. White House sources confirmed that Prime Minister Netanyahu approved the proposal in a conversation with Trump, with the central condition being the cessation of attacks by Iran.

The official Iranian response came in the early morning hours from Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who explicitly denied the existence of a formal agreement. "As of now, there is no agreement, ceasefire, or halt to military operations", Araghchi wrote on social media. However, in the continuation of his statement he left a significant opening: "If the Israeli regime stops its aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4:00 Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response". Araghchi added that "the final decision on stopping our operations will be made later." It should be noted that the tweet was published after 4:00 in Iran, raising questions about the practical meaning of the ultimatum.

In support of the president's announcement, a senior Iranian official confirmed in a conversation with foreign media that Tehran had indeed agreed to the proposal, though he did not detail its exact conditions. The apparent contradiction between the minister's and the official's statements indicates internal disagreements in Iran's decision-making mechanism.

Parallel to the diplomatic announcements, the military reality continues to be turbulent. The Israeli Air Force conducted "heavy strikes" at noon on dozens of targets across Iran, with more than 50 fighter jets participating in the operation. The main focus was the extensive attack on Tehran, which included hitting Revolutionary Guard headquarters and strategic infrastructure. Among the prominent targets was also the entrance to the notorious "Evin" prison, where Iranian regime opponents are held.

An IDF spokesperson detailed that the wave of attacks targeted missile production sites, radars, and missile storage infrastructure in the Tehran area. The strikes are being carried out against the backdrop of Israeli preparations for possible barrages, with security forces at maximum alert level.

In Jerusalem, the narrow security cabinet convened in a bunker for an emergency discussion. Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed ministers not to comment on the matter until discussions were completed. Sources in the Prime Minister's Office refrained from any official reference to Trump's announcement, emphasizing that Israel would continue to act according to its security considerations.

In Washington, the American Vice President defined the "12-day war" as "an important reset for the entire region", emphasizing the strategic importance of the ceasefire agreement. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee welcomed the announcement in an emotional post, writing: "It's 3:00 AM in Israel, and I woke up to a phone call instead of a ballistic missile. President Trump announced wonderful news to the world about a ceasefire that will soon take effect – these 12 days felt like 12 years. The President didn't just 'pray for the peace of Jerusalem,' he delivered it".

Despite the diplomatic announcements, the civilian reality in Israel remained unchanged. The Home Front Command clarified that there was no change in guidelines for the public, and that people should continue to follow instructions given through official channels. Following the attacks, the IDF decided to tighten defense policy and move all areas of the country from partial and limited activity level to essential activity level at least until evening. The prohibition includes educational activities, gatherings, and conducting activities in workplaces, except for vital economy.

The tension between diplomatic announcements and military reality continues to cast a shadow over the implementation of the ceasefire. While Trump promises "a wonderful day for the world", Israeli attacks continue and Iran maintains deliberate ambiguity regarding its future response. The coming hours are expected to determine whether an agreement is indeed crystallizing that will bring an end to tensions, or whether this is a temporary respite in what could become a longer war.

A comprehensive investigation published in the Wall Street Journal exposed the shocking affair and examined the connection between these accusations and Khan's controversial decision to issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials. The investigation points to questionable timing, raising serious suspicion that Khan acted from personal motives in his dramatic legal decisions against Israel.

The complainant in the case is a 30-year-old lawyer from Malaysia who worked with Khan and traveled with him as part of her role. Her detailed testimony, revealed in the investigation, presents a troubling picture of inappropriate and harmful behavior. According to the testimony, Khan exploited his high position to sexually assault her during official trips to various countries, including New York, Colombia, Congo, Chad, and Paris, and even at his private home in The Hague, which is owned by his wife.

The testimony details how in December 2023, during critical discussions at UN headquarters in New York, the complainant came to Khan's suite at the nearby Millennium Hilton hotel to "calm him down" after he began lashing out at his staff. According to her testimony, that evening he began touching her sexually, and subsequently took her hand, pulled her to the bed, undressed her, and forced himself on her. The complainant described to investigators a feeling of being trapped: "He always holds me and leads me to the bed", she said, adding: "I felt trapped".

The case takes on an especially troubling dimension in light of the political context and pressures placed on Khan during this period. According to the testimony, Khan was under heavy pressure from pro-Palestinian elements and member states of the court, pushing him to take action against senior Israeli officials. Pro-Palestinian activists began marking him as "someone who enables genocide", effectively pushing him into direct confrontation with Israel and the United States.

Senior officials at the court reported that the complainant was in a particularly vulnerable position: she did not want to leave her important role in a human rights organization and worried she would not be able to pay her cancer-stricken mother's medical bills. Additionally, she expressed fear of retaliation from Khan, who according to testimonies tried to pressure her to withdraw the complaint.

The most troubling aspect of the case is the timing: just two and a half weeks after Khan learned of the allegations against him, he made the surprising and dramatic decision to issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Netanyahu. This was the first time in the court's history that an arrest warrant was issued against a democratically elected leader of a Western country – a move the United States had tried to prevent for months.

The connection between the complaint against Khan and his decision to issue arrest warrants against senior Israeli officials is strengthened by another disturbing testimony: in a recorded conversation in possession of the UN's independent investigation team, Khan is heard warning the complainant that "the complaint will harm the justice process for the victims – which is on the verge of progress. Think about the arrest warrants". This testimony raises serious suspicion that Khan used international legal proceedings as a means to protect himself and deter the complainant.

Although Khan denied that his decision regarding the Israeli warrants was related to the complaints against him, the suspicious timing and circumstances, along with the cancellation of his planned trip to Israel and the Gaza Strip, raise serious questions about the purity of his professional and ethical considerations. His conduct received backing from anti-Israel countries at the International Court, which apparently were willing to support him if necessary.

Now, the UN is investigating whether Khan tried to threaten or retaliate against the complainant and other senior officials who reported his actions. In the coming months, a report on the matter is expected to be published by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services, which will be submitted to the International Court's board of directors. Khan's dismissal would require a majority among the court's 125 member states.

The developing scandal casts a heavy shadow on the credibility and integrity of the International Criminal Court in The Hague and raises questions about the validity of the arrest warrants issued against Prime Minister Netanyahu and other Israeli officials. The conduct of someone who is supposed to be the supreme guardian of international law raises serious doubts about the court's ability to judge fairly and impartially, especially in the sensitive Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

While Khan claimed that the arrest warrants against Israeli officials stemmed from pure legal considerations, the connection between the serious sexual assault accusations against him and his controversial legal decisions points to the troubling possibility that this was a desperate attempt to divert attention from his inappropriate behavior and to mobilize political support to protect him.

His administrative leave is only a first step, and international legal figures are now calling for a comprehensive and transparent investigation of all allegations against him. However, the damage from his decisions has already been done, and their implications for Israel's status in the international arena and on the fight against terrorism are already being felt.

Israel is responding cautiously to the developing scandal, but official sources note that these accusations strengthen Israel's longstanding claim that the International Court is motivated by political rather than legal considerations. Senior Israeli officials argue that the scandal only proves how right Israel was in opposing the court's jurisdiction in its affairs.

Israel's supporters in the international arena are already calling for the cancellation of the arrest warrants issued by Khan, claiming they were issued with ulterior motives and as part of the prosecutor's personal attempt to protect himself from serious accusations. The fact that Khan chose to issue arrest warrants against Israeli leaders precisely during Israel's war on terror, and at a time when he was under heavy pressure due to sexual assault allegations, only strengthens the suspicion that this was a calculated move designed to serve his personal interests.

International legal sources note that if a connection is proven between the sexual assault allegations and his decision to issue arrest warrants against senior Israeli officials, it would be one of the most serious cases of conflict of interest and abuse of authority in the history of international law.

While the UN and independent investigative bodies continue to investigate the case, Khan's professional future appears to be hanging in the balance. What is already clear is that this scandal directly impacts the credibility of the legal proceedings he initiated against Israel and strengthens the claim that it is a political rather than legal system.

The developing scandal illustrates how important it is to treat the decisions of the International Court with skepticism, especially when dealing with a complex and charged conflict like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Khan's conduct highlights the danger in giving exclusive authority to an international body that may be influenced by political and personal considerations, and strengthens Israel's position that it must maintain its right to defend itself and its citizens, even at the cost of international criticism.

Latest update: Sources at the International Criminal Court said that Karim Khan is temporarily leaving his position following the investigation against him and accusations that he tried to retaliate against staff members who supported the complainant, and against the background of the assessment that additional American sanctions will be imposed. It is still unclear what the impact will be on the arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a frontal attack against Channel 12, which he dubbed "Panic 12", and exposed the channel's manipulative operating methods in its coverage of the Jerusalem Mountains fire. Netanyahu accused journalists Amnon Abramovitch and Guy Peleg, whom he called "propagandists", of a deliberate attempt to engineer consciousness and establish a false narrative of failure.

"The propagandists Amnon Abramovitch and Guy Peleg from 'Panic 12' are again trying to engineer consciousness and establish a narrative of failure in handling the fire in the Jerusalem Mountains", Netanyahu wrote on social network X. "The opposite is true – it was a most impressive achievement".

The Prime Minister presented proven facts that contradict Channel 12's false narrative. According to him, within just 24 hours, firefighting forces managed to contain the massive fire despite extreme weather conditions, and most importantly – without loss of life. He expressed appreciation to the brave firefighters, police, Magen David Adom, IDF, KKL workers, the Fire and Rescue Authority, and numerous volunteers for their professional work.

Netanyahu revealed that immediately upon the outbreak of the fire, he instructed to contact various countries for aerial assistance if needed. In response to the false information spread by Channel 12, the Prime Minister clarified: "Contrary to what Channel 12's propagandists and their leftist partners say, not only did we not cut the firefighting budget, but we doubled it by more than a billion shekels".

Netanyahu further revealed that after the Carmel fire, a firefighting squadron was established that has extinguished hundreds of fires across the country to date. "And here's another amazing fact that the panic channels are hiding from you – Israel has the most firefighting aircraft in the world relative to population size", the Prime Minister emphasized.

"Fake news is one thing, reality is another", Netanyahu concluded his sharp response to Channel 12's spreading of lies.

The Prime Minister's serious accusations against Channel 12 expose the channel's systematic operation to spread false information and mislead the public. The continued use of the term "Panic 12" emphasizes the severity of damage the channel causes to public discourse through spreading false information.

Netanyahu presented proven data refuting Channel 12's false claims about cuts in the firefighting budget, when in fact the budget was doubled by more than a billion shekels, and Israel holds the world's largest fleet of firefighting aircraft relative to population.

The Prime Minister's current attack on Channel 12 joins a series of cases where the channel's manipulative operating methods have been exposed, preferring political propaganda over reliable and fair journalism.

In his statement, Netanyahu detailed that Moalem refused to carry out "false arrests" of Israeli citizens, as allegedly demanded by the head of the Jewish Division in the Shin Bet. After his refusal, Netanyahu claims, Moalem was suddenly arrested on suspicion of corruption, with the approval of the Attorney General.

"This is further evidence of the corrupt conduct of the Jewish Division in the Shin Bet under Ronen Bar, in full cooperation with the Attorney General", wrote the Prime Minister. Later in the statement, Netanyahu added a particularly serious accusation that Ronen Bar and Gali Baharav-Miara, who according to him maintain a "years-long connection", "fabricated a case" against police officer Moalem, and are now "working together to prevent Bar's dismissal".

In the post, Netanyahu called for an immediate halt to what he termed "political investigations". He also attacked the performance of the Shin Bet head during the October 7 events, saying that Ronen Bar "failed terribly on October 7 and has since lost the confidence of the entire government". In conclusion, Netanyahu demanded that Bar "stop entrenching himself in his position and vacate his place immediately".

These accusations by the Prime Minister come against the backdrop of ongoing tension between the Prime Minister's Office and the heads of the law enforcement system and security agencies. Among Netanyahu's supporters, the accusations strengthen the claim that there is improper conduct in these systems, while his opponents see it as a continuation of a pattern of undermining state institutions.

It should be noted that the recordings referenced by Netanyahu have not yet been published, and it is unclear what their exact content is. Neither the Shin Bet nor the Ministry of Justice have yet officially responded to the serious accusations raised today.

In the shadow of Prime Minister Netanyahu's harsh attacks on the head of the Shin Bet and the Attorney General, a fundamental question hovers among the Israeli public regarding Netanyahu's own governmental responsibility, as he is the one who entrusted these officials with their extensive powers. However, the Prime Minister's supporters emphasize that taking steps belatedly is better than complete inaction.

The charged affair that has come to light deepens the divide in the Israeli political fabric, in this time fraught with tensions, in the face of the ongoing military campaign and the complex security reality. These events testify to the deep rift prevailing between the Prime Minister and the heads of the security branches and the justice system in the country.

Over the coming hours and days, the public turmoil surrounding this affair is expected to intensify further, as all the involved parties may respond to the weighty accusations recently hurled by the Prime Minister.

From a moral standpoint, Israel cannot attack Iran as long as the hostages have not been released from captivity in Gaza. The current IDF activity in the Strip is merely the prelude to the larger campaign that is forming against the Iranian threat.

There is a well-known saying that every fighter in the IDF infantry brigades knows: "What doesn't work with force works with more force". The operation in Gaza is essentially the trailer for the major operation that Israel is preparing for. The current activity of divisions 143, 36, and 252 is intended to increase pressure on Gaza residents, who will in turn increase pressure on Hamas to agree to the American proposal – the release of 11 living hostages and 16 deceased hostages.

The military activity in Gaza is now accompanied by heavy fire from the air, from the navy, and from maneuvering forces. The IDF is operating aggressively with the understanding that there are no living or dead hostages in the areas where it operates. The heavy force being applied is also meant to clarify to Hamas what will happen when the IDF moves to a much more intensified phase.

Iranian President Pezeshkian threatened that Iran is in a state of "total war with the enemy (Israel)" and called for focusing on preparations for this instead of internal accusations. He noted that the enemy is tightening the siege and sanctions, but Iran has plans to deal with this situation.

The question of striking Iran is just around the corner. This is the existential issue that threatens the state of Israel. The time window for striking Iran is limited, and it's unclear if the Americans will carry out the move themselves. This is Israel's top priority, but if the US does not act and leaves the arena to the IDF, Israel will need significant American backing. Not just in armaments and resources, but in an explicit clarification from the American government that it is providing support to Israel through aircraft carriers, squadrons at airfields in the Middle East and the Arabian Gulf.

A strike on Iran could lead to a military operation that would last many weeks and even several months. This situation requires Israel to first close the issue of the hostages. Israel cannot, morally, publicly, and to some extent militarily, initiate an action against Iran when the issue of hostages in Gaza is still open.

In the coming days, pressure on Hamas in Gaza is expected to intensify: more air force bombings, massive navy strikes along the entire Gaza coastline, and ground activity accompanied by heavy fire in various areas of the Strip. Now the military saying "what doesn't work with force works with more force" is being put to the test in the reality of Gaza.

At the same time, international voices are heard in the background. Russia responded to US President Donald Trump's threats with a stern statement: "An attack on Iran is illegal, it will have devastating consequences". Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova declared that "the use of military force against Iran would be illegal and unacceptable", following Trump's threats to attack the country if it does not sign a nuclear agreement. "Bombing nuclear facilities would have catastrophic consequences for the entire world", Zakharova added.

The complex security reality places Israel before a critical dilemma: on one hand, the escalating Iranian nuclear threat that demands an urgent response, and on the other hand – the moral commitment to return the hostages. The intensive fighting in Gaza these days is essentially an indicator of the military power that Israel is prepared to employ, and an attempt to resolve the hostage issue as quickly as possible in order to focus on dealing with the larger strategic threat.

As developments indicate, IDF activity in Gaza these days constitutes only the prelude to a much broader and more significant campaign. As time progresses, Israel increases the pressure in Gaza with the aim of achieving the release of hostages as soon as possible, and clearing the way for a comprehensive response to the Iranian threat – the threat that is now defined as more real, serious, frightening, and dangerous than ever before.

ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו הגיש היום (ראשון) בקשה לבית המשפט לדחיית שלושת הדיונים שנקבעו במשפטו במהלך השבוע, זאת בעקבות הליך רפואי להסרת בלוטת הערמונית אותו הוא צפוי לעבור. ההליך, שיתבצע בהרדמה מלאה, צפוי לדרוש מספר ימי אשפוז והתאוששות.

בבקשה שהוגשה לבית המשפט, ציין ראש הממשלה כי יש לבטל את הדיונים המתוכננים לשבוע הקרוב, והתחייב לעדכן את בית המשפט בהמשך לגבי מצבו הרפואי והיכולת לקיים את הדיונים העתידיים.

בשל ההרדמה המלאה הנדרשת במהלך הניתוח, צפוי להתמנות ממלא מקום זמני לראש הממשלה. נכון לשעה זו, טרם נמסרה הודעה רשמית בנוגע לזהות ממלא המקום.

ד"ר אלכס קונסטנטינובסקי, מנהל מחלקת האורולוגיה במרכז הרפואי צפון (פוריה), התייחס להליך הרפואי במסגרת ריאיון לחדשות 12. לדבריו, "מדובר בניתוח שנמשך כשעה, ללא כאבים משמעותיים ועם תהליך החלמה סביר מאוד". הוא הוסיף כי "יום למחרת ניתן לחזור לפעילות רגילה, כמובן עם מגבלות קלות".

מערכת 'מעקב' בדקה, ובשיחה עם דוברות המרכז הרפואי צפון (פוריה) נמסר כי ד"ר קונסטנטינובסקי מסר מידע כללי והסברתי בלבד על ההליך, וכי הוא לא היה מעורב בטיפול בראש הממשלה. הדוברות הדגישה בפני מערכת 'מעקב' כי ראש הממשלה כלל אינו מטופל במוסד הרפואי שלהם, ולכן לא נעשתה כל פגיעה בסודיות רפואית.

הליך הסרת בלוטת הערמונית מבוצע כאשר טיפולים תרופתיים אינם מספקים מענה מספק לתסמינים. "כשהתרופות לא עוזרות והתסמינים מחמירים, זהו הפתרון המתאים", הסביר ד"ר קונסטנטינובסקי.

בקשת הדחייה מגיעה בעת שישראל נמצאת במערכה צבאית, כאשר ראש הממשלה ממשיך לנהל את ענייני המדינה במקביל להליכים המשפטיים המתנהלים נגדו.

Netanyahu revealed that "there were significant delays in weapons and ammunition supplies" and noted that "this delay will soon be resolved". According to him, Israel will acquire advanced warfare means that will protect soldiers' lives and provide additional striking power to complete military missions.

During his speech, the Prime Minister reviewed achievements on seven fronts of what he called the "War of Revival". Regarding the Iranian arena, Netanyahu stated that Israel destroyed "significant portions of its air defense and missile production capabilities", as well as "a significant component of its nuclear program".

In the Lebanese arena, the Prime Minister claimed that "this is no longer the same Hezbollah" and that the organization has been pushed back "decades". According to his statement, Israel eliminated the organization's senior leadership, destroyed most of its missiles and rockets, and eliminated thousands of terrorists.

Addressing concerns about future ceasefire violations, Netanyahu emphasized that "we will respond with force to any violation". He added that violations would include not only firing but also future attempts by the organization to arm itself.

Regarding the Gaza campaign, Netanyahu reported that the IDF eliminated approximately 20,000 terrorists and returned 154 hostages. He emphasized the commitment to returning the remaining 101 hostages, both living and deceased.

Addressing northern residents, Netanyahu said he is proud of their resilience and is "completely committed to your security, the rehabilitation of your communities, and your future". However, he refrained from calling for their return home at this stage.

The Prime Minister also addressed the situation in additional arenas: in Judea and Samaria, he reported the elimination of hundreds of terrorists and destruction of terror infrastructure; in Yemen, he noted the attack on the Houthi port of Hodeidah; in Iraq, he mentioned the interception of drone attacks; and in Syria, he reported systematic thwarting of attempts to transfer weapons to Lebanon.

Netanyahu concluded his remarks saying that "a good agreement is one that is enforced", and emphasized his commitment to continuing the campaign until victory is achieved. He promised that Israel will maintain full military freedom of action, with complete understanding from the United States.
