Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a New Year's Toast with the IDF General Staff Forum: "We need to destroy the Iranian axis, and this is within our means. This is a historic year for the security of Israel."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Monday, 22 September 2025), at the Kirya in Tel Aviv, together with Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, met with members of the IDF General Staff Forum
The Prime Minister and the members of the Forum discussed the different challenges in the various sectors and toasted the Jewish New Year.
Prime Minister Netanyahu [translated from Hebrew]:
"We are in the midst of a struggle in which we are overcoming our enemies, and we need to destroy the Iranian axis, and this is within our mans. This is what stands before us in the coming year, which could be a historic year for the security of Israel.
I would like to salute the great effort that you are making, the major successes you have brought, the great sacrifices and heroism of this generation, which many have eulogized and, in effect, negated its commitment and ability to fight. It has been shown to be a magnificent generation that has made many painful sacrifices.
I would like to reiterate that we are determined to achieve all of our war objectives, not just in Gaza, or in completing the elimination of Hamas and the release of our hostages, or in ensuring that Gaza never gain constitutes a threat to Israel, but also in other sectors and in the opening of opportunities for security, victory and peace.
In my view, this demands two basic qualities: Unity in moments of crisis, and determination in every moment. May we have a year of security, victory and unity. Happy New Year."
