Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly appealed to the Iranian populace, emphasizing their plight under the current regime and advocating for a future of peace and cooperation between Israel and Iran.

A Direct Message to Iranians

“I speak a lot about the leaders of Iran. Yet at this pivotal moment, I want to address you – the people of Iran,” Netanyahu stated. He expressed a desire to communicate without intermediaries, highlighting the suffering inflicted by the Iranian leadership, which he accused of prioritizing military ambitions over the well-being of its citizens.

Criticism of the Iranian Regime

Netanyahu criticized the Iranian regime for its focus on external conflicts, saying, “Every day, you see a regime that subjugates you… yet plunges our region deeper into darkness and war.” 

He referenced the elimination of figures like Mohammed Deif and Nasrallah to illustrate Israel’s reach and resolve in protecting its interests.

Vision for a Prosperous Future

Netanyahu urged Iranians to envision a different future, one where their government invests in education, healthcare, and infrastructure instead of military pursuits. 

“Imagine if all the vast money the regime wasted on nuclear weapons… were invested in your children’s education,” he said, reinforcing the idea that a change in leadership could lead to significant improvements in the lives of ordinary Iranians.

A Call for Solidarity and Hope

Netanyahu concluded by expressing hope for a liberated Iran, asserting that peace between the Jewish and Persian peoples is possible. 

He stated, “When Iran is finally free… our two countries will be at peace,” suggesting that global investment and technological innovation would flourish in a stable and prosperous Iran.

He reminded the Iranian people, “Don’t let a small group of fanatic theocrats crush your hopes and your dreams. You deserve better. Your children deserve better.”
