Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's interim prime minister, warned on Tuesday, November 10, about the threats from Iran and acknowledged the change in the international atmosphere after the American elections last week.
🔸 Netanyahu said at the opening meeting of Israel's new captive parliament: "In the very near future, we will face international pressure to accept Iran with nuclear weapons and maintain this assassination regime that seeks to destroy us."
Netanyahu, who has led two wars against Iran since last year with the support of the United States, made these statements while calling for the formation of a government of national unity in captivity.
On the other hand, Gadi Eisenkot, who is trying to establish Israel's next captive government, expressed his anger on Tuesday at Netanyahu's statements at the parliament opening ceremony.
Eisenkot said: "I sat and listened to the speech of the resigning prime minister; delusional, divisive, hateful and shameful speeches in which an official government event was misused." He added: "Now I'm more convinced that he doesn't deserve to stay in this position even for another minute."
