[Netanyahu Claims Israel is Now the Strongest in History] On April 6, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement emphasizing the alliance between Israel and the United States, stating that Israel continues its attacks on Iran, including attacks on Iranian petrochemical facilities and assassinations of high-ranking Iranian officials. Netanyahu claimed that Iran is no longer the Iran of the past, and Israel is no longer the Israel of the past either; today's Israel is "the strongest in history." According to a report by Israel's Channel 12 television, citing sources, Netanyahu warned US President Trump during a phone call on April 5 against reaching a ceasefire with Iran at the current stage. The report stated that Netanyahu ostensibly called Trump to congratulate him on the successful rescue of the US F-15E fighter jet crew, but in reality, he was expressing concern about the "significant risks" posed to a ceasefire. The report also stated that US officials believe that although Trump hopes to reach an agreement with Iran, given Iran's current hardline stance, the possibility of an agreement in the short term is low.
