Netanyahu encourages Iranians to seek freedom from oppression

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared a message for Iranians celebrating Nowruz, the Persian New Year. In a video lasting nearly two minutes, he encouraged them to seek freedom from their government's oppression. His comments come as Houthi forces from Yemen have been attacking Israel. Netanyahu's remarks were a direct challenge to Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He used this occasion to mock Khamenei while expressing solidarity with the Iranian people. The ongoing conflict has heightened tensions in the region. Many are closely watching the situation as hostilities escalate, and the risk of further violence increases. In recent days, the Houthis have claimed to be preparing new attacks against Israel. Netanyahu’s call for freedom resonated as the backdrop of conflict continues to unfold. He positioned himself as a supporter of Iranians looking for change amid the turmoil.
