Netanyahu in a statement in Hebrew to the people of Israel:
"Dear citizens of Israel, my brothers and sisters. In Operation 'Am Kalavi', (Rising Lion) we achieved unprecedented achievements together in the history of Israel. You remember that from the beginning of the operation, I promised you that Iran's nuclear facilities would be destroyed, one way or another. This promise was kept. A short time ago, in full coordination between me and President Trump, and in full operational coordination between the IDF and the United States military, the United States attacked Iran's three nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In doing so, the United States continued, with greater intensity and with great force, the attacks of the IDF and the Mossad on Iran's nuclear program. This program threatened our very existence and also endangered the peace of the entire world. Immediately after the operation was completed, President Trump called me. We had a very warm, very moving conversation. He congratulated me, he congratulated our army, and he congratulated our people. And I congratulated him, the United States pilots, and the American people. President Trump is leading the free world with strength. He is a great friend of Israel, a friend like no other. In my name and on behalf of all the citizens of Israel, on behalf of the entire Jewish people, I thank him from the bottom of my heart. And I know, citizens of Israel, that I speak from the bottom of the heart of each and every one of you. We stand together, we fight together, and with God's help - we win together. As the saying goes in this week's Torah, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” (Numbers 13:30)
