First Of All, I Want To Say I’m Alive And You’re All Witnesses. I Want To Give You Update-Netanyahu
In a recent video on i24 Tv, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that he is safe and in control, while providing an update on Israel’s ongoing military campaign against Iran, dubbed Operation Roaring Lion.
“Welcome to the foreign press. First of all, I just want to say I’m alive and you’re all witnesses,” Netanyahu said at the start of his briefing, dismissing circulating reports about his condition. “Now that I dispatch this piece of fake news, I want to give you an update on Operation Roaring Lion.”
Netanyahu described the operation as a joint effort between Israel and the United States, crediting Donald Trump for what he called decisive leadership. “Under President Trump’s visionary leadership, America and Israel are acting together in Iran with great determination and unprecedented strength,” he stated.
According to the Israeli leader, the objective of the operation is to neutralize what he termed longstanding threats from Iran’s leadership. “Operation Roaring Lion is designed to remove the existential threats posed by the Ayatollah regime,” Netanyahu said, referring to Iran’s ruling system.
He further accused the Iranian government of sustaining hostility over decades. “The regime has waged war against America and Israel and the people of Iran for 47 years,” Netanyahu added, framing the current military actions as part of a broader effort to confront that history.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with ongoing military exchanges and growing concerns about regional stability. Analysts say the joint posture between Israel and the United States signals a significant escalation, particularly as operations appear to target both military infrastructure and leadership elements.
