Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett commented on Israel's recent action against Iran, stating it was a vital strike carried out “at the very last moment possible.”
“All Israelis — left and right — support this act of self-defense,” he stressed.
Bennett warned that Iran was close to acquiring ten nuclear warheads and described the regime as “the head of the terror octopus” destabilizing the world. “I’ve long advocated for striking the head — and now it’s finally happening,” he said.
He emphasized that the operation will save millions of lives and make the world a safer place.
Concluding, Bennett urged unity: “Tough days are ahead — we must stay united. May Hashem (G-d) bless us.”
Communications Minister Dr. Shlomo Karhi praised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to strike Iran, calling it "brave, precise, and covert."
According to Karhi, this was a critical step in the campaign to eliminate the existential threat: "After we crushed the octopus's arms around us, last night we began to sever its head with unprecedented force."
Karhi expressed his support for the Prime Minister, the Defense Minister, the heads of the security establishment, and IDF soldiers — especially the IAF pilots, whom he said operated “magnificently.” His remarks included references from the week’s Haftarah and the Bible, noting the Prime Minister’s visit to the Western Wall on the eve of the attack as a symbol of Israel’s leadership spirit.
