_News_ | *Netanyahu: This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove the threat* 👇 The Israeli operation against Iran “will continue for as many days as it takes to remove the threat,” declared Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his first statement following the attack, which he referred to as Operation Rising Lion. Netanyahu stated that the objective of the attack is to prevent Iran from developing its nuclear program, adding that it also targeted the ballistic missile program, citing Iran’s ballistic missile retaliation against Israel last year. Netanyahu invoked the Holocaust multiple times, comparing today’s Iranian regime to the Nazis, and even cited the Torah to justify the strike. He also thanked US President Donald Trump and declared that Israel’s actions were not only in defense of its own security, but also that of its Arab neighbors.
