Netanyahu: We Won’t Have An Endless War With Iran, “This Will Usher In An Era Of Peace That We Haven’t Even Dreamed Of”

Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu explained the imperative of the joint US-Israeli strike on Iran in an interview with FNC host Sean Hannity. “This is going to be a quick and decisive action and we’re going to create the conditions first for the Iranian people to get control of their destiny, to form their own democratically elected government, which will make Iran a different Iran altogether because Iran has been the main engine of war over these years. It’s just 95% of all problems you see in the Middle East are generated by Iran and the worldwide terror network that they built is generated and orchestrated from Iran. So when you take away Iran, when you let the people of Iran have the opportunity to act to liberate themselves, free themselves from the yoke of this terror machine, you get a different future,” Netanyahu told Hannity.

SEAN HANNITY, HOST: I think that history will, through the prism of history, he will be viewed very favorably by recognizing a threat in the last century. You’re a historian, Mr. Prime Minister, you know, between Mao, China, Stalin, Russia, Hitler, Germany, Mussolini, fascism, Tojo, Japan, Pol Pot, the killing fields, estimated over 100 million human souls slaughtered in the name of some ism. Now we see a president and a prime minister partnering together to stop a threat before it emerges and becomes unstoppable, which I got to give you both so much credit for. It is transformational. It is consequential. I guess I want to look forward a little bit. We had in his first term the Abraham Accords. I know that there are countries in your region of the world that have been looking for a window of opportunity. I’m talking about the likes of Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Dubai and Egypt and Jordan, et cetera. Do you see a path to a long, lasting peace in the region, which we’ve not seen in forever? ISRAEL PM BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: Yes, I do. In fact, I hear the people are saying, well, you’re going to have an endless war here. You’re not going to have an endless war because we’re at this point that we’ve been and Iran, this terror regime in Iran is the weakest point that it’s been here since it hijacked Iran from the brave Iranian people 47 years ago. So we’re, this is going to be a quick and decisive action and we’re going to create the conditions first for the Iranian people to get control of their destiny, to form their own democratically elected government, which will make Iran a different Iran altogether because Iran has been the main engine of war over these years. It’s just 95% of all problems you see in the Middle East are generated by Iran and the worldwide terror network that they built is generated and orchestrated from Iran. So when you take away Iran, when you let the people of Iran have the opportunity to act to liberate themselves, free themselves from the yoke of this terror machine, you get a different future. I think that will open up the way for many peace treaties with other Arab countries, with Muslim countries. I think it changes the world. Now, of course, it’s up to the people of Iran in the final count to change the government, but we are creating, America and Israel together, are creating the conditions for them to do so. I think that if we go through what we plan to do, I think it will create conditions for peace. This is not an endless war. This is, in fact, something that will usher in an era of peace that we haven’t even dreamed of.
