Israel has severely weakened the Iranian regime, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in pre-recorded public address on Tuesday night.
"We are heavily crippling the regime that has called for 'Death to Israel' and 'Death to America' for the past decade," he said, noting that the regime has tried to "take control" of the region for years.
Netanyahu outlined 10 significant hits Israel has dealt Iran since the start of Operation Roaring Lion, including decimating Hamas and Hezbollah, fighting West Bank terror, and assassinating many of the regime's leadership.
Alongside this, Netanyahu highlighting 10 achievements the war against Iran has brought.
The first achievement, Netanyahu said, was that "the Ayatollah's regime is weaker than ever and Israel is stronger than ever," adding that the second was the cooperation between the United States and Israel since the war began.
Netanyahu addresses Israel's military successes
"Ahead of the war, Israel fought Iran alone. Now, the US and Israel are fighting side by side against Iran," he said.
Israel has also managed to distance the Iranian nuclear threat, Netanyahu went on, adding that "we broke the strength of Iran's proxies that threatened us."
Further, he addressed Israel's military success along the other fronts, including the expansion of "security buffer zones outside of our borders," how Israel has changed its defense strategy to a more offensive one, and that the world now knows that Israel's air defense system is the best there is.
Operation Roaring Lion has shown the strength of the Israeli people, he said, "Enemies come and go, but our strength and ability to stand against and strike them does not."
Netanyahu then slammed "the studios and opposition" for the political backlash and fighting during the war.
"What happened to you?" he asked, "During such a sensitive time, don't be tempted by petty politics, connect with the spirit of the people. We will keep destroying the terror regime in order to protect Israel."
Netanyahu concluded his address by wishing the Israeli public a happy Passover.
Lapid slams Netanyahu in response to address
Opposition leader Yair Lapid responded to Netanyahu's address with his own scathing message posted to X/Twitter, slamming the prime minister for his inability to win the war.
"On the same day Israel is mourning the death of five IDF soldiers killed in Lebanon, a night where Hezbollah has launched non-stop barrages towards northern Israel, Netanyahu gave his 1000th address claiming that he has managed to change the Middle East," Lapid began. "One word was missing in the address: Almost."
Lapid explained that while the IDF and the Israeli public have shown excellence, strength, and resilience in the war against Iran, "the one person who time and time again cannot fulfill his duties is Netanyahu himself."
He added that he has and continues to support the war against Iran and Hezbollah, the Israeli public must acknowledge that Netanyahu "cannot achieve any strategic goal."
"Before October 7, Hezbollah fired at us from Lebanon, and today Hezbollah fires at us from Lebanon. In the past hour alone, over 50 rockets and drones were launched at the North," Lapid said. "Before the current war, Iran fired ballistic missiles at us, and the supreme leader was called Khamenei. Today, Iran fires ballistic missiles at us, and the supreme leader is called Khamenei."
"Before October 7, Hamas ruled Gaza with thousands of armed terrorists in their ranks. Three years have passed, and Hamas continues to rule Gaza with tens of thousands in its ranks."
The only thing Netanyahu has managed to accomplish throughout the war, Lapid said, was to change the Israeli public, "which he has destroyed from within."
Lapid addressed the 2026 state budget, where "a coalition of draft evaders attempted to steal 800 million NIS from Israeli citizens in order to pass it along to additional draft evaders. We stopped them at the last minute."
He went on, condemning National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir for opening a bottle of champagne and celebrating in the Knesset after the death penalty bill for terrorists had passed, knowing that four soldiers had been killed in Lebanon.
Further, he repeated IDF Spokesperson Effi Defrin's Tuesday evening comments on how the IDF is missing at least 12,000 soldiers.
"Haredim [ultra-Orthodox] must draft," he affirmed. "The draft evasion law has not passed until today, and we will not allow it to pass ever. We will not call up the same reservists again and again while allowing the haredim to evade the draft entirely."
