Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Monday that Israel has a clear strategic plan to collapse the Iranian regime. Bennett outlined a dual-track approach: preventing Iran from achieving a nuclear breakout while simultaneously working to dismantle the regime, according to a statement reported by Israeli media.
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Monday outlined a comprehensive strategy for toppling the Iranian regime, rejecting the notion that a US-Iran deal is a decree of fate. Speaking in a statement reported by Israeli media, Bennett said: 'With one hand we will not allow Iran to break out to a nuclear weapon, and with the other hand we will bring about the disintegration of the regime.' This follows a statement Bennett made earlier Monday, reported by The Zioneer at 11:41, in which he argued the same strategic principle. Bennett did not specify which operational or diplomatic steps are part of the plan. The remarks come as a growing chorus of Israeli voices — from the opposition, analysts, and the government — frame the Iranian nuclear program as the central national security challenge and discuss strategies to avert it short of a negotiated agreement. The current statement adds a clearer political articulation of Bennett's position but offers no new operational details.
