In a message to Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett stressed that "the time to sit comfortably in Tehran and ignite the entire Middle East from there is over."

"We are working to mobilize the world, but in parallel we also know how to work on our own," said Naftali Bennett, while inspecting the headquarters of the Northern Military District, noting that "Iran knows what the price is when someone threatens our security."

"Immediately after the Iranian attack on the ship, we shared our intelligence with our friends in the United States, Britain and other countries, and no one doubts the identity of the party behind this event, but we have provided conclusive evidence to confirm this," Bennett added.

He continued: "In parallel, unfortunately, a representative of the European Union intends to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new Iranian president, Ebrahim Raisi.. Raisi is the most extremist Iranian president to date and the competition in this field is tough. On human rights, in parallel, honoring a murderer and executioner who liquidated hundreds of opponents of the Iranian regime.

Naftali Bennett stressed that "the Iranians must understand that it is not possible to sit comfortably in Tehran and ignite the entire Middle East from there, as this matter is over."

And he added, "The tangible increase in the defense budget and in the army budget that we passed this week reflects this, and rhetoric is not enough in confronting Iran. We need a strong army, and for that, many resources must be invested and we are doing that."
