Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is prepared for the possibility that fighting with Iran could resume, as it continues operations against Hezbollah alongside newly launched talks with Lebanon, APA reports citing Times of Israel.
“Our American allies are keeping us constantly updated on their contacts with Iran,” Netanyahu says in a video message, released amid continued American efforts to reach a deal with Tehran and reported US pressure for Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
“Our objectives with the United States are aligned,” Netanyahu continues. “We want to see Iran’s enriched material removed, and we want to see the elimination of its enrichment capability inside Iran. And of course, we want to see the reopening of [key shipping] straits,” he says.
