“For three decades Israel’s number one reference enemy has been the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Bennett said at the beginning of his speech. “The resources the country has invested in dealing with the Iranian threat – military, political, economic, technological, secret and overt – are enormous. She is positive. “

Bennett again attacked the previous government led by opposition leader MK Benjamin Netanyahu. “When I entered the Prime Minister’s Office less than six months ago, I was amazed at the gap between rhetoric and deed. Its nucleus, whose enrichment machine is more sophisticated and wider than ever.
“In addition to advancing the nuclear program, Iran has also consistently and consistently educated Israel in a ring of militias and rockets from all sides. In the last decade, every window in the State of Israel has seen Iran. To the northeast, Shiite militias in Syria. “The Iranians surrounded the State of Israel with missiles while sitting safely in Tehran. They harass us from a distance, draw energy from us, do us harm and all this without leaving the house. They shed blood and blood for us without paying a price.”

Bennett stressed in his remarks that “the compelling conclusion is that this method of chasing the on-duty terrorist operated by Quds Force simply does not make sense anymore. We must reach the sender.” The Prime Minister mentioned the fall of the late Roi Klein and his friend Emanuel Moreno, and noted in this context that “I am asked how Roi Klein was killed by Iranian emissaries without Iran paying a price for it. How do we complete this symmetry? How can our sons be killed? In teaching from Tehran in Bint Jabil, in Sajaiya, while the Iranians sit protected from all evil in Tehran?
“Second Lebanon brought me into politics, and today when I am prime minister I do not forget the late Roi or my good friend Emanuel Moreno and all the IDF soldiers who stood between the citizens of Israel and the Iranian terror who always wears a different guise. When I took office, one of the first things “I did right in the second week, a re-examination of Israel’s policy on the Iranian issue, with an emphasis, of course, on the nuclear issue, but also with reference to that cold and ongoing war between us and the Iranians in the region.”
The Prime Minister later noted some conclusions from Israel’s process so far in the face of the Iranian nuclear issue. “There was asymmetry and it is the big strategic Israeli mistake. They send us emissaries from Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, even further away, and we wrestle with the emissary. Attrition that only plays into their hands, that’s exactly what they want to happen, that we wrestle with the emissary.
“Second conclusion – we need to use our relative advantages over their weaknesses more actively than before. Israel has a strong economy, world-leading cyber, democracy, international legitimacy, mutual guarantee. By analogy, if you look at history, the United States has won the alliance. Councils in the late 1980s.
“The third conclusion – we must increase the gap with our enemies, all together and individually. The State of Israel is strong, but it needs to be even stronger. How do we do that? In cyber, in laser, in a variety of technologies. It’s an intensification of the kind that leaves no room for doubt and makes everyone want to try us. “The State of Israel must preserve freedom of action and the ability to act in any situation and in any political circumstances.”

At the end of his speech, Bennett referred to what is happening these days in Iran and the powers, especially the United States, and said: “We have a tendency to enlarge ourselves and frighten ourselves with it. Iran is much more vulnerable than one might think. Manages to provide water to its citizens, a regime whose economy is weak, the government corrupt and controls the power of the arm and fear.The Iranians, contrary to image, are not happy to commit suicide, are very sensitive to their own lives.So they will always prefer to find ‘volunteers’. We see it in Syria all the time.
“We hope the world will not blink, but even so, we do not intend to blink. We have a complex period ahead, there may also be disagreements with the good ones in our society, this will not be the first time. In any case, even if there is a return to the agreement – Israel is of course not a party To the agreement and Israel is not bound by the agreement. The mistake we made after the first nuclear agreement in 2015 will not return. So, with all the noise before, once the agreement was signed, it affected us like a sleeping pill. “Our freedom of action. The challenges shaped us, fortified us, and to a large extent made us what we are. We can also meet this challenge.”
Bennett addressed the issue ahead of the resumption of nuclear talks between the Islamic Republic and the powers at the end of the month in Vienna, the capital of Austria. The United States has welcomed the resumption of negotiations, but the Americans themselves are not expected to formally participate in the talks.
President Yitzhak Herzog, who is in England, met yesterday with friends of Israel in the British Parliament and said he “urges all parties to be as tough as possible with Iran, with which negotiations are about to resume in Vienna.” According to Herzog, “Our assumption is that the Iranians are not coming to do business – but to run for the bomb. It is the duty of the powers to be strong and make it clear that all options are on the table.”
On November 29, we will recall that the nuclear talks between Iran and the superpowers will resume – after about five months of a break in which a new and more radical regime was established in Iran. In fact, these are indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran, the goal of which is for both sides to respect the nuclear agreement signed in 2015, from which Donald Trump withdrew in 2018. Following that retirement, Iran began to openly violate the agreement, including enriching uranium. Which she was allowed in the agreement.
