During a meeting in Tel Aviv with Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff General Eyal Zamir, and members of the General Staff Forum, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented Israel's strategic objectives for the coming year.
He stressed that the main goal is to destroy the "Iranian axis", consisting of terrorist representatives in the region, considering this objective as achievable. Another major priority remains the conclusion of the war against Hamas, by eliminating this group and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel, as well as the release of Israeli hostages.
Netanyahu praised the efforts and sacrifices of the Israeli military over the past year, citing the heroism and pain that has accompanied these efforts.
