Cabinet member and Religious Zionism party chairman Bezalel Smotrich is backing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and calling for continued efforts to topple the Iranian regime and ensure full freedom of action in Lebanon:
“The agreement with Iran is bad for Israel and for the entire free world. Period. The joint campaign had many achievements in weakening Iran and they will not go to waste. We will need to continue the campaign to topple the regime ourselves and in creative ways, and ensure that Iran never has nuclear weapons.
None of the would-be candidates for prime minister would withstand even ten percent of the pressure being applied these days on the government of Israel and especially on its leader.
In Lebanon we will be tested. This is our war, our fighters, and the immediate security of our northern residents.
I will continue to work to ensure we keep standing firm on what is ours and allow the IDF full freedom of action to continue pushing Hezbollah back.”
