When asked about opposition from former U.S. President
Donald Trump concerning an Israeli plan to eliminate Khamenei, Netanyahu maintained that such an action would not escalate the situation but instead resolve longstanding hostilities.
Netanyahu remarked that Israel would continue to take necessary actions to secure its interests in the region, suggesting a readiness to pursue military options against key Iranian figures.
