On the evening of his birthday, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Iran.

Quoting his late father, Professor Bentzion Netanyahu, a historian, Netanyahu said, “Today, the people of Israel are showing the world how a nation should behave when faced with an existential threat. To face the danger eye to eye, calmly consider what must be done and what can be done, and be ready to enter the fray as soon as the chances of success seem reasonable.”

The Prime Minister continued by quoting his father’s words: “Today the people of Israel are revealing to the world that they have the power of faith, and this includes my unreserved faith that our people will repel the danger that threatens their existence.”

Netanyahu then repeated his father’s statement: “With this expression of faith, I conclude my remarks.” The Prime Minister concluded, “With this expression of faith, I also end my remarks.”

The Prime Minister’s Office later announced that French President Emmanuel Macron and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis both called Netanyahu earlier today to wish him a happy birthday and strongly denounce the assassination attempt on his life.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who met with Netanyahu in Yerushalayim today, along with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer, sent their greetings. Additionally, five members of the U.S. Congress who met with the Prime Minister also conveyed special messages of support.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed their shock and solidarity with Netanyahu over the attack. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson also called the Prime Minister to offer his strong condemnation.
