Amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a rare direct message to the Iranian people on Monday, stating that Israel stands with them as it fights the proxies of Tehran, like Lebanon based Hezbollah militant group.
In a message relayed on YouTube and other channels, PM Netanyahu said, “Every day, you see a regime that subjugates you and makes fiery speeches about defending Lebanon, defending Gaza. Yet every day, that regime plunges our region deeper into darkness and deeper into war.”
Netanyahu added that there’s no place in the Middle East where Israeli forces can’t reach and that “puppets of Iran” were being eliminated in Israel’s offensive. He further said, ”There is nowhere we will not go to protect our people and protect our country.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
“I speak a lot about the leaders of Iran.
Yet at this pivotal moment, I want to address you – the people of Iran. I want to do so directly, without filters, without middlemen.”https://t.co/r6jKRQigQX pic.twitter.com/CMCvOcELbp— Prime Minister of Israel (@IsraeliPM) September 30, 2024
Netanyahu’s statement comes after Israel Defense Forces killed Iran-backed Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah in airstrikes in Lebanon’s capital Beirut, which also killed a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps official.
After the confirmation was given by Hezbollah group that its leader Nasrallah has been eliminated by Israel, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was transferred to a ‘safer location’.
I know you don’t support the rapists and murderers of Hamas and Hezbollah, but your leaders do. You deserve more.
The people of Iran should know – Israel stands with you.
May we together know a future of prosperity and peace.

Netanyahu in his message to Iran’s people concluded by saying that they should not “let a small group of fanatic theocrats crush your hopes and your dreams. You deserve better. Your children deserve better. I know you don’t support the rapists and murderers of Hamas and Hezbollah, but your leaders do. The people of Iran should know that Israel stands with you.”
Since the air attack by Israel against Lebanon based Hezbollah started, more than 1,000 people have died and over 6,000 have been wounded. According to the United Nations, around 1,00,000 people have crossed from Lebanon into Syria fleeing Israel’s bombardment.
