Netanyahu: Israel is the Strongest Power in the Middle East

SadaNews Translation - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Israel this evening, Monday, as the strongest power in the Middle East, and in some areas, it is being referred to as a global power, emphasizing that it is stronger than ever.

This came during Netanyahu's interrogation by the opposition in the Israeli Knesset regarding the decline of Israel's status internationally.

Netanyahu stated, as translated by SadaNews, "What we are experiencing now is a direct result of the way we conducted the 'War of Renaissance'."

He added: "We have achieved great accomplishments in the war thanks to the heroism of our fighters, the resilience of our people, and the enlightened and courageous decisions made by the government I lead along with my colleagues present here."

He continued: "As a result of our sound management, the Israeli economy is still strong and breaking records, the shekel against the dollar is at its best, unemployment is at its lowest ever, and foreign investments continue to pour in here massively."

He noted that he will meet for the sixth time with U.S. President Donald Trump since he took office last January.

He said: We have communications with another superpower, which is Russia... I speak with Putin regularly, and this dialogue is important for maintaining security interests, including on our northern borders.
