In April 2025, Israel Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to the United States, US and held meetings with President Donald Trump, only returned from the official trip and intensified more aggressive military campaigns in Gaza and staged a military confrontation with Iran, which led to the killing of almost 1,000 Iranians in a 12-day war with the Islamic country, this, on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet members that he will travel to the US next week to hold very important security meetings with President Donald Trump and the US lawmakers amongst others, while specifically telling the cabinet members that the details of the scheduled meetings are things he cannot reveal at the briefing.
According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “I am due to leave next week for meetings in the US with US President Donald Trump; Vice President Vance; Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Marco Rubio; Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth; the President’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, the Commerce Secretary – we have several items to close beforehand in order to reach the trade agreement, and several additional matters; meetings with Congressional and Senate leaders and security meetings which I will not detail here.
These come in the wake of the great victory that we achieved in Operation Rising Lion. Taking advantage of the success is no less an important part of achieving the success.
On two issues, I would like to thank you – ministers of the Government. You are doing the work – you have done, and are doing, critical work to realize these achievements. Of course, I would like to expedite the rebuilding, which includes almost all, if not all, of the ministries here.
I think that there is great value in this, that there should be a unification of forces here. This finds expression among the people, but also in the Government and the Knesset. I must also say something about the opposition, which during the great challenge, lined up, almost all of them.
This is important and I hope that it will be preserved as a compass for the future. In any case, each and every one of you has my gratitude for the exceptional cooperation and for the excellent work. Thank you very much.”
While the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu meeting at the Kirya in Tel Aviv, with the IDF General Staff Forum, together with Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief-of-Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, the Prime Minister commended the major-generals of the IDF for their part in Operation Rising Lion in Iran and thanked them for their contribution to ensuring the eternity of Israel.
“Personally, I would like to express immense appreciation and gratitude to you Defense Minister Israel Katz, to you IDF Chief-of-Staff Eyal Zamir and to you, the members of the General Staff Forum for perfectly executing that missions that we set. ‘A people that rises up as a lion’ – and much more.
Over the centuries of our exile, the Jewish People lost the ability to oppose those who attacked it. We became as a leaf driven in the wind, a people that experienced exile, pogroms, murders and, in the end, the worst act of murder in history.
When the fathers of Zionism arose approximately 130 years ago, most of them did not think that the attacks on the Jewish People would end with the establishment of the State of Israel, but that we would formulate the diplomatic and military force to oppose these attacks.
This is the line that separates between the generations of Jewish history and what has happened in our generation – the establishment of the state and the IDF.
In Iran, a threat was created for us that was no less strong and perhaps even greater than the pan-Arab threat at its peak, and it still threatens us.
Forty years ago, and certainly 35 years ago, I thought that the greatest danger to humanity was the link between nuclear weapons and an Islamist regime, or the link between an Islamist regime and nuclear weapons.
But Iran did not suffice with this because, in effect, they built three axes of annihilation:
First – the noose, a plan for the annihilation of Israel by means of an axis. The second – a plan for the annihilation of Israel by means of a missile threat. And the third – a plan for the annihilation of Israel by means of a nuclear threat.
This is the raison d’etre of the regime. This is not the only reason why they want to annihilate us and we are not their main objective. But in order to realize the main objectives, they must get rid of us. It is impossible to conquer the Middle East without annihilating Israel. And if there is no Israel, the Middle East collapses immediately.
The State of Israel was like a person who has two cancerous tumors – one was the nuclear threat and the second was the missile threat. If you do not excise them – you die. It could be that you excise them and they return, like you treat cancer. But if you do not excise them, we die.
Therefore, there was no question here. We had to make this decision. And the way in which it was made, unanimously by the political echelon, and unanimously by the IDF command – under your outstanding leadership, which improved exceptionally on a daily and weekly basis.
The question arose regarding the US, and I told you that we would do everything to get them on board, but this was not a condition. It was not a condition.
But none of this would have been possible without the intensive and superb operation that will be etched in the history of our people, and – in my view – in the history of the world, certainly in the military history, which I believe everyone will come to study. This has major implications for our economy – we are already feeling it”, the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu stated.
