Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recorded a message in English to the Iranian people, in which he said that "you do not deserve leaders who flee the country while you suffer alone during a difficult war." According to him, "the tyrants of Tehran preferred to send hundreds of billions of dollars not to you, but to Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis - instead of funding your hospitals, schools and roads." Netanyahu added that "if you want, a free Iran is not a dream. Now is the time for action. Now is the time to fight for freedom."
