Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by video to the people of Iran on Thursday, and while harshly criticizing the leadership in the Islamic Republic, he declared that the future of Iran is peace.

People of Iran, as we see history unfold before our very eyes, I can only imagine what you’re feeling right now. Your oppressors spent over 30 billion supporting Assad in Syria. Today, after only 11 days of fighting, his regime collapsed into the dust. Your presence spent billions supporting Hamas and Gaza. Today their regime lies in ruins.
Your oppressors over $20 billion supporting Hezbollah in Lebanon. In a matter of weeks, most of Hezbollah’s leaders, its rockets, and thousands of its terrorists went up and spoke. The money your oppressors stole from you literally went up and spoke. You must be furious imagining the new roads, schools, hospitals, that could have been built with the tens of billions of dollars your dictators wasted backing terrorists who lose over and over and over again.

He explained that not only are Iran’s oppressors inept and malicious, but they keep failing because of their constant quest for more power:
Do you know why Iran’s oppressors keep losing? It’s not only because they’re incompetent and cruel — they are. It’s because they seek to conquer other nations, to impose a fundamentalist journey on the Middle East, on the entire world. The only thing Israel seeks is to defend our state, but in so doing we’re defending civilization against barbarism.
Notice who he calls the “president” here. Hint: It’s not Joe Biden:
The historic events we witness today are a chain reaction, a chain reaction to the pounding of Hamas, the decimation of Hezbollah, the targeting of [deceased former Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah, the blows we delivered to the Iran regime’s axis is of terror, and all this came as President Trump pointed out this week, because of Israel and its fighting success.
Netanyahu closed with a message of peace. It’s a powerful statement, but the reality on the ground is that —despite progress—real peace is still a long way off.
I want to make clear: Israel wants peace. We want peace with all those who truly want peace with us, and I have no doubt that you, the people of Iran, know this. I know that just as we want peace with you, you want peace with us, but you suffer under the rule of a regime that subjugates you and threatens us.
You know what this regime is truly terrified of? It’s terrified of you. The people of Iran. And one day, I know that this will change.
One day Iran will be free.
That is the future of Iran, that is the future of peace. And I have no doubt that we will realize that future together a lot sooner than people think. I know and I believe we will transform the Middle East into a beacon of prosperity, progress and peace.

“From your mouth to God’s ears,” as the saying goes. Let’s hope.
Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the people of Iran directly. It’s brilliant. THIS is how to approach our proud, occupied nation.
