Netanyahu orders tougher IDF strikes on Hezbollah as drone attacks persist

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the IDF to 'hit the gas' against Hezbollah amid ongoing drone attacks from Lebanon, claiming the military has killed more than 600 Hezbollah militants in recent weeks and urging stronger action while praising northern residents’ resilience. The remarks came as IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir floated striking Beirut in response to Hezbollah drones, with ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir calling for a tougher approach, including attacks in Lebanon. A US official said Hezbollah has ignored ultimatums and warned that the status quo is untenable.

Israel to dissolve Knesset, trigger early elections amid coalition turmoil

Israel’s ruling coalition introduced a bill to dissolve the Knesset and trigger early elections about 90 days after passage—likely in August—due to coalition strain and ultra-Orthodox pressure. Likud pre-empted rivals by moving the bill; opposition Beyahad (Lapid–Bennett) plans its own bid, and polls show Likud and Beyahad leading without a clear majority. Campaigns are expected to focus on accountability for the 7 October Hamas attacks and extending military service to ultra-Orthodox Jews.

Netanyahu hints Iran leadership could topple, but not guaranteed

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS’s 60 Minutes that Iran’s leadership could eventually be toppled, but offered no guarantee, as the US and Tehran clash over Hormuz transit and Tehran’s nuclear program amid a broader war. He argued for removing enriched uranium and dismantling enrichment sites, warned that Iran’s collapse could destabilize the region and its proxies, and noted ongoing diplomacy to end the conflict alongside energy-market disruptions and shifting regional alliances, including tensions with the UAE.

Netanyahu Pins US Support Decline on Social Media

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu told 60 Minutes that the decline in U.S. backing for Israel is largely driven by social media, calling it the eighth front of the war. He cited a Pew survey showing about 60% of U.S. adults view Israel unfavorably amid the Gaza war (up roughly 20 points in four years) and acknowledged that, despite Israel’s efforts to protect civilians, the war has damaged its image. He also blamed foreign manipulation of social media for worsening perceptions and said Israel has not done a good job with propaganda.

Netanyahu says Iran war won't end until uranium is secured, with Trump reportedly backing a direct action
