Netanyahu: Iran is Resuming Ballistic Missile Production and Nuclear Program

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Iran is attempting to regain its military capabilities, including the production of ballistic missiles and the resumption of its nuclear program. He emphasized that former US President Donald Trump had warned Iran against these actions and that the country must comply with the demands. Regarding the conflict in Gaza, Netanyahu said he has not received criticism from Trump regarding the implementation of Phase B of the ceasefire agreement. Concerning armed groups, he argued that Hamas possesses a large number of weapons that must be destroyed, but the organization has weakened, while Hezbollah is “a shadow of its former self.” Regarding settler violence in the West Bank, he characterized it as a marginal phenomenon, adding that he is trying to prevent it. Finally, he referred to Syria, expressing doubts about the prospect of stabilization, and in a second interview hinted that he could seek amnesty for the charges he faces.
