He claimed that Israel has altered the security reality in the region and is currently controlling a wide area in the Strip. Netanyahu listed several senior Hamas figures who have been killed since the October 7 massacre, including Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, Ismail Haniyeh, Mohammed Sinwar, Hassan Nasrallah, and Izz al-Din al-Haddad. He praised the students at the yeshiva, who have participated in the fighting, for their bravery and sacrifice. Israeli security sources indicate that the Air Force remains on high alert and is capable of resuming strikes against Iran at short notice. While defense officials are divided on whether a confrontation is imminent, the military is prepared for either possibility. Diplomatic sources suggest that Israel will likely prioritize destroying the remainder of Iran's nuclear program as a primary objective, while strikes against the regime or broader infrastructure are secondary priorities.
