Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an unusually short and striking speech Monday evening during a special plenary session of the Knesset convened by the opposition with 40 signatures, sending a direct warning to the regime in Tehran.

In remarks that lasted only minutes but carried heavy weight, Netanyahu opened with a stark assessment of the moment.

“We are in very complex and challenging times, concerning the life of the state,” he said.

Benjamin Netanyahu said he has personally conveyed that message to the Ayatollah regime, making clear that Israel is closely monitoring developments and preparing for any scenario.

“No one knows what tomorrow will bring. We are keeping a watchful eye and are prepared for any scenario,” Netanyahu declared. “I have clarified and sent a message to the Ayatollah regime that if they make perhaps the most serious mistake in its history and attack Israel, we will respond with a force they cannot even imagine.”

The comments come amid heightened regional tensions and growing concerns over Iran’s posture toward Israel.

Netanyahu concluded his address by calling for national unity as the Jewish people approach the Purim holiday.

“In these days we must close ranks and stand shoulder to shoulder,” he said. “We have already proven that when we stand together, we achieve great accomplishments. On the eve of the Purim holiday, we will stand together and, with God’s help, we will ensure the eternity of Israel.”

The speech, though brief, underscored what many in Jerusalem see as a pivotal and potentially volatile moment for the Jewish state.
