This is not an endless fight”, all that Netanyahu said about Fox News after the attack on Iran

He added that instead, it would lead to peace and democracy in Iran.

In an interview for Fox News Monday with journalist Sean Hannity, Netanyah said: “This is not an endless war. In fact, this is something that will bring about an era of peace for which we have neither dreamed of”.

Below are the complete interview of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah.

Sean Hannity: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is with us now. Prime Minister, thank you for being here. I know you probably slept too little in the last few days. Why now? What accelerated this moment at this time? I know you've been talking about this. We know 30, 35, maybe more years. Why was that necessary at this point?

Benjamin Netanyah: Well, the first thing to understand is why it's necessary at all times. Iran for 47 years has cheered “Death America”, “Israel's death” also, but you're the great Satan, we're the little Satan. America's “Death”.

They've killed and crippled thousands of Americans in Iraq, in Afghanistan with their improvised bombs these are the bombs on the street. They bombed your embassies, they tried to kill Donald Trump, the President of the United States, twice. They have killed their people, slaughtered so much, and spread a network of terror around the world. So this is a dedicated regime to destroy the United States of America. It is the only place on the planet that is so open and works hard to achieve that goal.

The reason we had to act now is because after we hit their nuclear sites and their ballistic missiles program, you would think they learned a lesson, but they didn't, because they're irreformable, they're completely fanatic about it, for the purpose of the destruction of America. So they started building new sites, new places, underground bunkers that would make their ballistic missiles program and their imuna atomic bomb program within months. If no action was taken now, no action could be taken in the future. And then they could target America, they could blackmail America, they could threaten us and threaten everyone between them. So action had to be taken and you needed a determined President like Donald J. Trump to take that action. And we are his very strong and capable partners, and our alliance today is so strong. We had to take action now, and we did. Otherwise, the Iranian regime of mass killings would have immunity from future actions.

Sean Hannity: Steve Whitoff made the statement, the Middle East envoy did it last week that they are absolutely sticking to their ability to build a nuclear weapons programme. And the president, as he said, wanted a peace deal, gave them every opportunity for peace as they did before Operation “Heather of the Midnight”, and they firmly refused. In the first 30 seconds I've never seen anything like this in my life Supreme Leader, Ayatallah Ali Khamenei and his 40 top leaders disappeared. Ahmadine between them. This is extraordinary intelligence, and, wow, I'm sure this will be studied for centuries, not decades.

Benjamin Netanyah: Well, you know, when America, the necessary ally of Israel and the greatest power in the world, and Israel, the model ally of America as the National Security Council called it, amazing things happen. When we work together, amazing things happen. But I have to tell you that this wasn't going to happen without President Trump's leadership because he just... you know, I met him at Mar-a-Lago, you can remember this because I think you live close, I saw you at the time, just before his re-election or before it was inaugurated for the second time. And we met in Mar-a-Lago, and the first thing Donald Trump told me, was: “you know, we need to prevent Iran from being equipped with nuclear weapons”. So simple.

He said this because he viewed this as a clear and present danger to the safety and welfare of the United States. Having such a regime, so fanatic that it determines itself by destroying America, by exporting revolution, by exporting terror, by exporting the worst Islamist fanaticism that attacks the Arabs, attacks the Americans, attacks anyone everywhere seen. They just fired their ballistic missiles all over the world, including Cyprus in Europe. Having such a regime, which plans to eliminate the United States, which has weapons of mass death, would have been the greatest threat America would face in decades to come. And so he immediately told me I didn't tell him, he told me " “we need to make sure they never get nuclear weapons”. And that's what he did. We first tried to destroy them in the “Midnight Hammer” and “Reking Leon”, and destroyed their missile sites, but then they started again. Their missile and nuclear sites. They did not learn the lesson. We tried to ensure negotiations, he negotiated with them, they didn't understand, they tried to drop it. So action had to be taken, and we took it.

Sean Hannity: President Trump repeated again and again and I would argue that the now dead leader was a death cult and a existential threat, not just for the region, not just for Israel “Israel's death, death to America”. But I'm pretty convinced, and I've been convinced as you've been for decades, that if they ever got nuclear weapons, this, along with their fanaticism, would make them use them. That this is what that death cult would make them do. Is this now the culmination of decades of your work and your belief that these radicals should be defeated? And what's next for Iran? You know, we talk about well, the regime has changed, but we still don't know what to do. What are your thoughts?

Benjamin Netanyah: Well, you're right, I've been talking about this for decades and trying to convince successive American administrations to take decisive action. And President Trump, in his first term, walked out of the catastrophic agreement with Iran and did everything he could to prevent them from entering the nuclear program that they seek to build atomic bombs to threaten us and you and finally to attack us both and destroy as much as possible, because that's what these people do. They're basically in the business of mass death and you have the right to call them a worship of death.

I worked with some presidents. I always appreciated that we had, in fact, open discussions. We have often agreed, but we have often disagreed, and I appreciated that we kept the alliance alive. But I want to tell you something. I'm not new, so I've been here. There has never been a president like Donald J. Trump. His determination, his determination, his clarity of thinking, the way he takes things right to the core of things. He transcends all things, exceeds all details, reaches the main point, and moves on to the basic action to take. And I think about Israel, and I think about the countries of the free world. Let me tell you, I think about the world, we're very lucky to have it as the leader of the free world and actually the leader of the world. He has restored America to being the leader of the world, and that makes a big difference.

And I can tell you, speaking with the allies of America in the region, only one by one. And I can't quote from these conversations, but I can tell you that everyone shares this, and they all say, thank God that Donald Trump is here. Thank God that you two are working together to remove this threat not only for you but also for us.

” And Iran today just bombed these ballistic missiles, these massive weapons of death, these terror weapons they are terror weapons they bombed all these places. They bombed Cyprus, which is Europe. I said it won't take long. They're bombing us, then they're bombarding Europe, and when they develop intercstrian ballistic missiles and nuclear heads to adapt these ballistic missiles, they'll threaten you and eventually bomb you.

That's what President Trump understood, and the only one among the American presidents I worked with, he took action. And we're all very, very lucky that he did.

 Sean Hannity: I think history through the prism of history he'll be very positive to recognize a threat. In the past century you are a historian, Mr. Prime Minister Maos (Kina), Stalin (Russia), Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (fascist), Tojo (Japania), Paul Pott (Traicide Village), is estimated to have slaughtered over 100 million human souls in the name of one - type. Now we see the president and a prime minister working together to stop a threat before it shows up and becomes unstoppable. Which, again, I must give you both much credit. It's transformative, it's with consequences.

I think I want to look forward. In his first term, we had Abraham's agreements. I know there are places in your world region that have asked for a window of opportunity.

I'm talking about countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Dubai, Egypt and Jordan, etc. Do you see a way to long-term peace in the region that we have not seen in a long time?

Benjamin Netanyah: Yeah, I see. In fact, I hear people say: “you will have an endless war here” You won't have an endless war because we're at the point where we were and Iran, this terrorist regime in Iran is the weakest point it's been here since it snatched Iran from the brave Iranian people 47 years ago. So we will be a quick and decisive move, and we will create the conditions, first for the Iranian people to take control of their destiny, form their democratic elected government, which will make Iran a completely different Iran. Because Iran has been the main engine of war these years.

It's just 95 percent of all the problems you see in the Middle East are generated by Iran. And the global terror network that they built is generated and orchestrated by Iran. So when you remove Iran, when you give the people of Iran the opportunity to act for release, to be freed from the yoke of this machine of terror, you have a different future. I think this will pave the way for many peace treaties with other Arab countries, with Muslim countries. I think that changes the world. Now, of course, it's up to the people of Iran to final count to change the government, but we're creating America and Israel together we're creating conditions for them to do that. I think if we go through what we plan to do, I think it will create conditions for peace. This is not an endless war, this is actually something that will bring about an era of peace that we have not even dreamed of.

Sean Hannity: Now, the president told the people of Iran: “The time of freedom is near”, and you know, you've been asking America for years to do this, and now your window is here. Grab him right now, don't let him through. It could be the only chance you have in a generation of”, and I hope that's true. In a conversation with Senator Lindsay Graham, he told me he believed that perhaps one of the key locations in all of this would be Saudi Arabia and (MB), King Mohammed bin Salman.

Do you specifically see a road there, a path to peace?

Benjamin Netanyah: Yeah, well, I think Saudi Arabia would have a lot to win. I think all these countries around Iran are threatened by Iran, even if they don't say so publicly. They've just been targeted by Iran. So, of course, if Iran is removed, this is a great help to Saudi Arabia, a great help to these other countries. And I think that peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia would be really possible, and perhaps very close once that happens. So this is a gate to peace, for a broader peace, and I believe we can achieve it.

The most important thing to understand is that when we worked together, President Trump and I actually achieved four peace advances brokered by President Trump who worked with me. We mediated, brought before Abraham's agreements, which were four peace treaties with four Arab countries. And now, working together against Iran, we will be able to bring in many, many more peace treaties. So this isn't an endless war, this is a gate to peace. It's the opposite of what people say.

Sean Hannity: Prime Minister, I think history will study this military effort and, as I said, will be studied for centuries. But you also destroyed their air defence systems, their missile defence systems, the ballistic missile system. You have 10 top leaders in Hamas, you have Nasrallah, who had been in power for about 30 years. You had the job incident. Donald Trump dropped 14 bunker bombs and destroyed their nuclear facilities. I mean, I know there are war colleges that all these combined incidents will be a valuable study for life in my opinion.

And I want to ask you this: there are people who say, “Well, the Prime Minister of Israel dragged Donald Trump into this.” And as someone who has been friends with him for over 30 years, no one drags Donald Trump into anything, first. But I want to take your reaction to this.

Benjamin Netanyah: Well, you're right. I mean, this is ridiculous. Donald Trump is the strongest leader in the world. He does what he thinks is right about America. He also does what he thinks is right for future generations. And frankly, we're partners in this effort because I've dedicated my life to providing the lives of the only Jewish state. And believe me, it was a war. I've known the pains of war, I lost a brother in war, in battle. I myself fought terrorists and was wounded during the release of hostages from a hijacked plane. I carried a fellow soldier when I was 18, and he died in my arms. I know the cost of war. But I know that sometimes war is necessary to protect us from people who would destroy us.

And that's what free societies have to understand. Freedom is precious, but it must be protected. And we have to understand that we're fighting here. We're fighting the bad guys, we're the good guys. These people massacre their people. Imagine what they would do, these people who cheer on America's <x0... Death”, if they had ballistic missiles and nuclear heads to spread to every American city. Do you want to wait? Do you want to bet your future if they do it or not? I mean, look, nobody stopped North Korea, so now they have ballistic and nuclear missiles, but they don't say "x2..." America's death” Iran is fifty North Korea. Iran is committed to your destruction. And whether people understand it or not, the leader has to understand it. Donald Trump understands.

You don't have to drag him into anything, and nobody would. He does what he thinks is right, and that's right.

And let me tell you, today I visited a city in Israel, okay? In this town yesterday, a ballistic missile like a truck, you know, it's like a bus full of TNT, comes quickly on March 8th and crashes straight into a synagogue. All right? And around there, nine people were killed. So this is the difference between us. These mass killers in Tehran, they target civilians.

We, in Israel and America, target mass terrorists. This is a small part of the change. And we must protect our world from these people. And if these people have weapons of mass death, these mass killers, then you will have mass death.

And then people will ask: “Well, why didn't you do it in time? Why didn't you do something about it? You know, Winston Churchill called this he called this the sleep of democracies. He said they slept, fell asleep, and awake only when the sound of danger awakens them. Well, I think in this case, President Trump and I think differently. We don't have to sleep. We don't have to sleep. We do not have to look suspiciously, look aside and say there is no danger. There is great danger, and it is time to act. Good people have to act early enough. And there are those leaders, so-called leaders, who don't see this, and they just sit back and you know, they say, " “Oh, well, it's a terrible thing”. No, it's not a terrible thing. To protect humanity, to protect America, to protect Israel, to protect the free world from these theological bandits, these uninteresting fanatics, who simply export death, mass death everywhere, build terrorist armies for it, you know, drown the people of Lebanon and the people of Gaza and people of other peoples that do it.

So acting against them is not bad, it's good. And it's a good time for free society people to realize that they have to act to protect their freedom and way of life. We're fighting barbarians. Israel is on the front lines of this battle against barbarism, and America under President Trump has entered this war to protect our civilization and protect our common future.

Sean Hannity: Well, I hope people in Europe are listening, and very specifically Macron in France and the leader in Spain, and I can tell you this, Starmer is not Winston Churchill. I hope they see, testify and learn from President Trump and from you, Mr. Trump. Prime Minister. I hope they allowed it, they let their guard down when it comes to national security and national protection. They have allowed illegal immigration without assimilation, resulting in what, some 80 Sheriat courts in Great Britain and banned areas in other parts of Europe. I hope they see, testify and learn from President Trump and from you, Mr. Trump. Prime Minister. I pray for all the people in the region and pray for lasting peace. This would be my dream, my prayer to everyone in the region, and we appreciate your time tonight, sir.

Benjamin Netanyah: Thank you. And it's called “Peace via Force”. It's not a slogan, it's the most fundamental reality, the fundamental order in a very ruthless world. You must be strong to protect your freedom, you must be strong to defend your values, and you must be determined to take action. I said it might be quick and decisive. It may take a while, but it won't take years.

It's not an endless war. In fact, it is now an effort to attain the peace that we all desire and pray for. And I think we'll get there together.
