Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Thursday, the eve of Rosh Hashanah, that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons as long as he remains Prime Minister.
Speaking at the Western Wall, Netanyahu addressed President Donald Trump's statement that Iran is attempting to obtain nuclear weapons once again.
"President Trump announced this evening that Iran is trying to arm itself again with nuclear weapons. That is true," Netanyahu said.
"After we destroyed its immediate ability to produce nuclear bombs, both in Operation Rising Lion and in Operation Roaring Lion, they are trying again."
Netanyahu then made a commitment ahead of the Jewish New Year: "I pledge to you here, at the Western Wall, ahead of Rosh Hashanah: As long as I am Prime Minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons."
The Prime Minister added that Israel is continuing to strike the Iranian axis.
"At the same time, we are striking the Iranian axis, not only very hard in the Gaza Strip, but also in Lebanon. We destroyed the Beaufort Ridge, and now we are dealing with the Ali Taher Ridge."
"More to come," Netanyahu concluded.
