Netanyahu Discusses Golan Heights and Regional Security

In a significant address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reflected on the current geopolitical landscape, particularly focusing on the Golan Heights and the collapse of the Syrian regime. He emphasized that the stability of the Golan is crucial for Israel's security and its historical ties to the land. Netanyahu underscored that Iran's substantial investments in Syria over the past decades have led to ongoing conflict and anti-Israel sentiment. He mentioned that the recent crisis resulted from strategic military actions against threats posed by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian interests in the region. Netanyahu confirmed that Israel’s control over the Golan Heights would be preserved indefinitely, highlighting the necessity of maintaining military strength in both southern and northern fronts. He thanked U.S. President Donald Trump for acknowledging Israeli sovereignty over the Golan, framing it as a historic recognition. Moreover, he addressed the importance of recovering Israeli hostages held by Hamas and stressed that military actions would continue until all hostages are safely returned. Netanyahu concluded with a resolute message about the resilience of the Israeli people, asserting that despite challenges, Israel's strength and unity will prevail in shaping the future of the Middle East.
