Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is working toward overthrowing Iran’s government. Speaking in an interview with i24NEWS on Wednesday, Netanyahu said, “All of our systems under my direction are working to overthrow this regime and defeat it.”
Both outlets report the same core claim, with limited additional detail on what form such efforts would take or any evidence provided in the interview. Middle East Eye also includes Netanyahu’s additional remarks from the same day, saying he was “very much satisfied” after visiting Israeli soldiers in Gaza and that Israel controls more than 60% of the besieged strip. Al Jazeera’s report focuses specifically on Netanyahu’s statement about Iran.
The two accounts thus align on Netanyahu’s language about overthrowing Iran’s government, while Middle East Eye adds broader context about his other comments on the Gaza front. Neither source describes corroborating actions or responses from Iran or third parties within the excerpt provided.
