Netanyahu on Iran: “With or without an agreement, they cannot reach nuclear weapons”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today (Tuesday) attended the state memorial service for Yosef Trumpeldor and his friends who fell on the 11th of Adar in the battle of Tel Hai, which was held at the Roaring Lion plaza. Due to the corona restrictions, the ceremony was held without a crowd and no entry was allowed.

“We stand here 101 years after that difficult day, we all remember the fallen and salute their heroism,” the prime minister said in his speech at the ceremony. “The battle of Tel Hai was not a retreat but progress, not a failure but a victory. The flame that was ignited in Tel Hai will continue to ignite a great light, and the roar of Or Yehuda that is spread here will be heard from generation to generation, may the memory of the fallen be preserved in our hearts and in the hearts of our people forever. “

The Prime Minister referred to Iran’s attempts to arm itself with nuclear weapons: “On the eve of Purim I say to those who seek our lives, Iran and its metastases in the Middle East: 2,500 years ago another Persian tyrant tried to destroy the Jewish people and just as he failed then – you will fail today. We will not allow your extremist and aggressive regime to acquire nuclear weapons. We did not make the journey of thousands of years back to the Land of Israel, in order to allow the delusional regime of the ayatollahs to end the story of the resurrection of the Jewish people. ”

Netanyahu added: “We do not hang our jaws on any agreement with an extremist regime like yours. We have already seen the nature of agreements with extremist regimes like yours, in the past century and this century, with the North Korean government. With an agreement and without an agreement – we will do everything so that you do not arm yourself. “We will not end up with a military base designed to endanger us in Syria, and we will not compromise on the development of accurate missiles. There are those who threaten us at a painful price during a conflict, if the threats materialize our response will be crushing dozens of times.”

In addition, Netanyahu referred to reports that vaccines would stop arriving in Israel: “I spoke with the CEO of Pfizer, there will be a continuum of supply without shortages and interruptions, without a break. We also get vaccines from modernity, go get vaccinated. “
