Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the biggest obstacle to achieving peace is the Palestinians' refusal to recognize "Israel" as a Jewish state.

Netanyahu claimed that efforts to continue the peace agreements had faltered due to the positions of a number of Arab countries that worked against the occupying entity, noting that the Palestinians were among these parties.

He added that the conflict in the region has been ongoing for a hundred years due to this ongoing refusal to recognize the Jewish character of the state.

He also claimed that establishing a Palestinian state is a ridiculous idea and we have seen what the Palestinian state has brought about in Gaza.

He claimed that the Palestinians do not want to establish a state alongside "Israel" but rather a state within Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran of seeking to alter the balance of power in the Arab world and turn it against the occupying entity. He noted that the normalization agreements signed by Tel Aviv with several Arab countries were met with organized Iranian attempts to sabotage them.

Netanyahu said that "Iran has pledged to destroy Tel Aviv because it is the primary obstacle to its quest for hegemony in the Middle East," stressing that his government is working to recover the remaining hostages and the bodies of those killed from Gaza.

Netanyahu also noted that his government was under intense American pressure, explaining that President Joe Biden's administration had threatened to halt arms supplies to the occupation if it decided to invade Gaza. He added, "We made it clear to the Americans that we are not a vassal state."

Netanyahu claimed that international media coverage was misleading, and that he was trying to portray the military operations as deliberately targeting civilians.
