Benjamin Netanyahu

Coining Left-leaning Israelis as racists or enemies of the Zionist state when they express concern over Israel’s democratic future sets a dangerous tone

The trial is currently at the cross-examination phase, as the prosecution questions Netanyahu and confronts him with observed inconsistencies in his testimony.

In Israel’s next elections, voters will not reward the politicians who provide the most sophisticated excuses for October 7. They will choose whoever convinces them that lessons have been learned.

"I want to tell you what the most important mission is - to ensure life. I am committed to this, and by the way, I am also speaking with President Trump about it," Netanyahu said during the meeting.

When asked how Iran's supply of enriched uranium could be removed from the country, Netanyahu replied simply that "You go in, and you take it out."

The discussions come amid efforts to reach a new agreement with Tehran and growing concern in Washington over continued Chinese support for the Iranian regime.

The Guardian cited former Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas as calling Netanyahu a “conman” who used Venezuela as an example of what the US and Israel could do in Iran.

Once seen as Netanyahu’s strongest rival, Benny Gantz now faces political isolation and fading public support.

While US officials express optimism over a potential deal, Israel remains cautious, stressing that significant differences between the US and Iran still persist.
