Netanyahu told Fox News that the people of Iran have been taken hostage by “ideological thugs.”

When asked what he would do in the remaining two years of President Trump’s term if he were re-elected as prime minister of Israel, he said: “Complete destruction of the threat from Iran against Israel, America, and the world.”

He added: “I think that with Trump’s brilliant leadership, we are on the path to achieving this goal, and we have made very good progress. Both military actions and the economic blockade have been very effective.”

The Israeli prime minister emphasized: “Let’s finish this and let the people of Iran take charge of their own future. This will change the Middle East.”

He stressed that the only way to deal with this situation is, fundamentally, to get rid of this government.
