Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today with US Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) at his office in Jerusalem.

The military authorities are conducting a thorough investigation. Our war is with Hamas terrorists. Our just goals are defeating Hamas and bringing our hostages home.

Prime Minister’s Office Statement:. Israel deeply regrets the tragic mishap that occurred today at the Nasser Hospital in Gaza. Israel values the work of journalists, medical staff, and all civilians.

Now is the time for both Israel and Lebanon to move forward in a spirit of cooperation, focusing on the shared objective of disarming Hezbollah and promoting the stability and prosperity of both nations.

If the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) take the necessary steps to implement the disarmament of Hezbollah, Israel will engage in reciprocal measures, including a phased reduction of IDF presence in coordination with the US-led security mechanism.

In light of this important development, Israel stands ready to support Lebanon in its efforts to disarm Hezbollah and to work together towards a more secure and stable future for both nations.

It marks a crucial opportunity for Lebanon to reclaim its sovereignty and restore the authority of its state institutions, military, and governance—free from the influence of non-state actors.

The recent decision by the Council of Ministers to work towards the disarmament of Hezbollah by the end of 2025 was a momentous decision.

Statement from the Prime Minister's Office:. Israel acknowledges the significant step taken by the Lebanese Government, under the leadership of President Aoun and Prime Minister Salam.

You are a lighthouse of moral clarity, a fearless voice of faith, and a lifelong champion of the U.S.–Israel alliance. Israel loves you. The Jewish people cherish you. The world is brighter because of you. Happy Birthday! 🎉🇮🇱🇺🇸.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:. This morning I had the joy of wishing my dear friend @USAmbIsrael @GovMikeHuckabee a happy 70th birthday in person. Sara and I thank you, Ambassador.

Whoever attacks us – we attack them. Whoever is planning to attack us – we attack them. I think that the entire region is getting to know the strength and the determination of the State of Israel.

I wish to congratulate the IDF Chief of Staff, the Air Force Commander and our pilots on an impeccable mission. All our planes have returned to our territory.

The terrorist Houthi regime is learning, the hard way, that it will pay, and is already paying, a very heavy price for its acts of aggression against the State of Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:. "Today, the Air Force has once again attacked strategic targets in Yemen: the Presidential Palace in the heart of Sana'a, the city's power station and the fuel tanks which supply it.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz arrived today at the Command Center of the Israeli Air Force, along with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Zamir and Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Bar, to observe the Air Force attacks on targets of the Houthi regime in Yemen.

The civilized world must demand two things: the immediate, unconditional release of all hostages and the truth.

Israel, will continue to act responsibly, ensuring aid reaches Gaza’s civilians while destroying Hamas’s terror machine. The Hamas-orchestrated “starvation campaign” will not deter us from freeing our hostages and eliminating Hamas.
