The Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, visited the Northern Command today (Tuesday), together with the Chief of Staff"L, Major General Aviv Kochavi. re"From Bennett he heard reviews from the commander of the Northern Command, Major General Amir Baram, and from the head of the Operations Division, Major General Oded Basiuk, about the assessment of the situation in the northern arena. The Prime Minister also heard about the readiness of the IDF"To this sector and the situation in Lebanon and Syria.
The Prime Minister said at the Mitzpeh Security Strip: "Immediately after the Iranian attack on the ship, we shared our intelligence with our friends in the United States, Britain and elsewhere. No one has any doubt who is behind the incident, but we also provided hard evidence for extra security.
At the same time, unfortunately, a representative of the European Union intends to attend the inauguration of the new Iranian president, Raisi. Raisi is the most radical Iranian president so far, and the competition is tough. I read a map to the European Union – it is impossible to talk about human rights and at the same time pay homage to a murderer, a executioner, who eliminated hundreds of opponents of the regime.
re"Bennett added: "On the subject of the ship and on the Iranian issue in general: we are working to harness the world, but at the same time, we also know how to act alone. Iran already knows the price we are charging when someone threatens our security. The Iranians need to understand that it is impossible to sit peacefully in Tehran and ignite the entire Middle East from there. This thing is over. The significant increase in the defense budget, in the IDF budget"To, which we moved just this week – reflects that. There are not enough speeches against Iran – we need an IDF"For strong and for it need to invest a lot of resources, and that we do".
