Israel's campaign against Iran has created opportunities, including for freeing hostages still held in Gaza.

There will be no Hamas. There will be no Hamastan. We are not going back to that. It is over. We will release all our hostages.

I am expected to leave next week for meetings in the United States with President Trump.

This victory presents an opportunity for a dramatic widening of peace agreements.

As you probably know, many opportunities have opened up now following this victory. Firstly, to rescue the hostages.

wider regional opportunities are opening up

Thank you again, @realDonaldTrump. Together, we will make the Middle East Great Again!

First of all, to rescue the hostages. Of course, we will also have to solve the Gaza issue, to defeat Hamas, but I estimate that we will achieve both tasks.

many opportunities have opened up

I will end the war only once Hamas is disarmed and exiled.

State of Israel strongly rejects the despicable blood libels published in the newspaper 'Haaretz.'

I look forward to continue working with you to defeat our common enemies.

a great victory in the campaign against an enemy who came to destroy us.

We must not waste even a single day.

We have removed the threat of annihilation by nuclear weapons.

Additionally, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) achieved full air superiority over Tehran's skies, struck a heavy blow to the military leadership, and destroyed dozens of central government targets in Iran.

Israel has removed from itself an immediate existential double threat—both in the nuclear domain and in the field of ballistic missiles.

Look, this war could end tomorrow. It could end today, if Hamas surrenders, lays down its arms, releases all the hostages, it’s over. It’s over in a moment. They refuse to do that.

Israel had achieved all of its war goals, including removing the threat of Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

We have achieved the goals we set in launching our attack on Iran by destroying the nation's nuclear program.

We eliminated Iran’s entire nuclear archive. We have dismantled the Iranian nuclear project. And if anyone in Iran thinks of rebuilding it — we will strike again.

Even in the past 24 hours, the IDF has severely struck government targets in the heart of Tehran, eliminated hundreds of Basij operatives—the regime's repression mechanism—and neutralized another senior nuclear scientist.

President Trump and I often say peace through strength.

First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight, President Trump and the United States acted with a lot of strength.

This decision will change history.
