Ariel Kahana of Israel Hayom reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's central campaign promise is to overthrow the Iranian regime.
A new report by Ariel Kahana of Israel Hayom states that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's central campaign promise is to topple the Iranian regime. The report, published Sunday evening, frames the overthrow of the Islamic Republic as the core pledge of Netanyahu's election campaign, signaling a major foreign policy objective.
Just half an hour earlier, at 18:16 Jerusalem time on Sunday, Netanyahu delivered a warning to Iran during a Rosh Hashanah toast at the cabinet meeting. He stated that any Iranian attack on Israel would draw an 'unimaginable blow' and reiterated that Israel is determined to 'complete the mission of toppling the regime,' adding that 'its end is near.' These declarations were first reported by Israeli media, including the earlier versions of this thread.
The Israel Hayom report provides the campaign dimension to Netanyahu's earlier statement, indicating that the promise to bring down the regime is now being presented as a central electoral plank. The report does not cite specific sources for the campaign pledge or elaborate on the timing or context of its formulation.
It remains unclear whether the campaign promise represents a new policy initiative or a continuation of Netanyahu's longstanding rhetoric, and whether any operational planning underlies the declared objective.
