Netanyahu was visiting the site of a recent missile strike in Arad when he said, “Iran has proven again in the last 48 hours that it is the enemy of civilization and a danger to the free world: targeting children, families, and the elderly with terror missiles, threatening Jerusalem’s holy sites, launching long-range missiles, and trying to blackmail the world through the Strait of Hormuz.”
He added, “I ask the leaders of the free world: what are you waiting for? Israel is fighting not only for itself, but for all of you.” Regarding the damage in Arad, he said, “I am here in Arad, no one was killed. If you are in the protected spaces, you are protected.”

Netanyahu welcomes Trump’s call
Also, Netanyahu welcomed US President Donald Trump’s appeal for broader international action against Iran. The Israeli PM said that the action is necessary not just for the US and Israel, but also to maintain global security. Meanwhile, Iran’s IMO representative, Ali Mousavi, clarified on Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open to all shipping except vessels linked to “Iran’s enemies”. The statement came after the US President Donald Trump’s warning of hitting the Iranian power plants if they fail to ‘fully open’ the Hormuz within 48 hours.
