    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Sunday, 3 February 2019), briefed a delegation of UN ambassadors who are visiting Israel, prior to their flight to a tour of the northern border.

    Prime Minister Netanyahu:

    "A great shift has taken place in the Middle East. That shift is the rise of the aggressive theocracy of Iran that seeks to conquer the Middle East, eliminate Israel and dominate many other parts of the world.

    Iran has proxies. One of them is Hezbollah. Hezbollah just joined the government of Lebanon. That's a misnomer; they actually control the government of Lebanon. It means that Iran controls the government of Lebanon.

    It's important to send this very powerful message just as we stop the terror tunnels coming into Israel, we will stop all the aggression; from Lebanon or from Syria or from Iran itself. We are committed to preventing this aggression, and in so doing we're not only protecting Israel itself, but also protecting our neighbors and world peace."

    Israel is currently hosting a delegation of dozens of UN ambassadors from around the world for a five-day visit. The ambassadors have visited Jerusalem; later today they will visit on of Hezbollah's tunnels on the northern border.
