Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held today a Rosh Hashanah toast together with Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, and members of the IDF General Staff Forum at the Kirya in Tel Aviv. Prime Minister Netanyahu: "What has been achieved over the three years of the War of Redemption, in the time that has passed since Operation Roaring Lion, and even earlier during Operation Rising Lion, these are historic achievements that ensure our continued existence. We faced the threat of annihilation by a regime that aspires to eradicate us and wants to arm itself with nuclear bombs to destroy us. We have pushed back this threat and other threats as well. This regime is currently faltering. It is weaker than ever before. It is fighting for its life, and I am convinced regarding the primary mission before us, in our capability, in the capability of our heroic soldiers, our heroic pilots and female pilots and navigators and all the rest of our array, in the home front array and of our strong nation. I am convinced of our ability to remove this threat once and for all; meaning, to topple this regime. This is the central mission still before us, but it is close. It is not impossible. It is within reach. They are not just failing to attack us. They attack everyone, except us. They know our power, the force of our arm, and our determination. I say to our enemies, do not mess with us. If you have learned anything, do not mess with us. We have the power, the determination, and the internal unity to overcome you, and that is what I wish for the people of Israel in the coming year, in the coming year. Happy New Year to you."
