Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a Rosh Hashanah toast for the year 5787 together with Defense Minister Israel Katz, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and members of the IDF General Staff Forum at the Kirya in Tel Aviv. Netanyahu said: "I am convinced of our ability to remove the threat once and for all and overthrow the Iranian regime that is fighting for its life. I say to our enemies – don't mess with us. We have the power, the determination and the internal unity to overcome you." According to Netanyahu, "This regime is currently crumbling. It is weaker than ever. Overthrowing the regime is the central mission still before us, but it is near. It is not impossible and it is within reach."
