Netanyahu Defies Iranā€™s Warning, Stands on Seized Syrian Soil: ā€˜IDF Will Remain Untilā€¦ā€™ | Watch

In a bold move amid escalating tensions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited a strategic peak in the newly seized Syrian territory. Defying strong warnings from Iran, Netanyahu declared that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will remain in the area until an arrangement ensuring Israelā€™s security is reached. Joined by key military officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi, Netanyahu toured Mount Hermon, a crucial location for monitoring Hezbollah activities in Lebanon.

Iranā€™s ā€˜Death for Netanyahuā€™ Call Sends Shockwaves Through Israel; Tehran Asks Arab Partners to Act [Video]

Iranā€™s ā€˜Death for Netanyahuā€™ Call Sends Shockwaves Through Israel; Tehran Asks Arab Partners to Act

In a provocative and chilling statement, Iran has called for the execution of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, escalating tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv. The Iranian government has urged its Arab allies to take action in support of this call, sending shockwaves through Israel and further stoking fears of regional instability. The statement follows a series of heightened exchanges between Israel and Iran, with both nations engaged in a bitter conflict, especially in light of Israelā€™s ongoing military operations in Gaza. Tehran has also criticized international bodies, accusing them of failing to adequately address Israelā€™s actions and calling for greater cooperation among pro-Palestinian countries to seek justice. With the backdrop of mounting casualties and a looming humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Iranā€™s call for Netanyahuā€™s death has added a new, dangerous dimension to the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict. #IransDeathForNetanyahu #NetanyahuThreat #IranIsraelConflict #MiddleEastTensions #TehranCallsForAction #NetanyahuUnderThreat #IranArabAllies #IsraelSecurityConcerns #GazaConflict #IranianDiplomacy #TehranIsraelRelations #DeathForNetanyahu #MiddleEastInstability #ArabPartnership #PalestinianResistance Also Read Israel Intensifies Strikes in Lebanon as Netanyahu Promises Strong Response to Hezbollah Violations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/deadly-strikes-israel-lebanon-netanyahu-iron-fist-011-4005657.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Endorses Proposed Ceasefire Agreement with Hezbollah Amid Ongoing Gaza Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-supports-ceasefire-agreement-lebanon-hezbollah-011-3999341.html?ref=DMDesc ICC Issues Arrest Warrants For Israeli PM Netanyahu, Gallant, Hamas Leader Over War Crimes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/icc-issues-arrest-warrants-for-israeli-pm-netanyahu-gallant-hamas-leader-over-war-crimes-011-3993979.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.318~GR.124~
