Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published another video message, this time in English.

He first wished U.S. President Donald Trump a happy birthday and then paid tribute to American servicemen and women who have “defended freedom” for 250 years.

Netanyahu declared that the Israeli army also “defends freedom” in the Middle East from the “tyrannical Iranian regime.”

"Our enemy is your enemy. And by doing what we are doing, we are dealing with something that sooner or later will threaten all of us," he said.

At the same time, the Israeli prime minister, without citing any evidence, said that if Israel had not launched the attack, Iran “would have armed its proxies, such as Hezbollah and Hamas, with nuclear weapons.”

“This is what Israel is doing with the explicit support of United States President Donald Trump, the American people and many other people in the world,” he said.

Netanyahu added that Iranian authorities allegedly twice tried to assassinate US President Donald Trump.
