During a recent address to Congress, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the strategic importance of Israel's role in countering Iran's influence in the Middle East. Netanyahu argued that by defending against Iranian-backed groups such as the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas, Israel is ultimately safeguarding American interests in the region.
Netanyahu highlighted Iran's ambition to expand its power in the Middle East as a direct threat to the United States. He asserted that Iran views Israel as a primary obstacle to its regional dominance and sees America as the next target. According to Netanyahu, Israel serves as a crucial barrier to Iran's ambitions, acting as a pro-American democracy in the heart of the Middle East.
