Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: I ordered the Mossad and the Israeli army (IDF) to overthrow this regime [Islamic Republic] because that is the only way to end this situation. Arab countries are not just one or two countries standing in line and waiting to see if we will carry out this mission or not. After that they will go on and join the "Covenant of Abraham". We have an opportunity to ensure a bright future for the Israeli government in terms of politics, economy and security.
