Von der Leyen wants to put European household savings “at the service” of businesses

JERUSALEM—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Western Wall hours before Rosh Hashanah, where he offered prayers for peace and security in Israel, as well as for Israeli troops deployed on various fronts. During his visit to the holy site, Netanyahu prayed for a blessed year for the State of Israel and its citizens. From the same location, the prime minister also issued a strong warning to Iran regarding its nuclear program. "As long as I am prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons," Netanyahu stated, reiterating that preventing Tehran from developing a nuclear arsenal remains one of his government's top priorities. The Israeli prime minister asserted that Iran is attempting to rebuild its nuclear capabilities following Israeli attacks on facilities linked to that program. Netanyahu asserted that Israel will continue to act to prevent Tehran from regaining the capabilities it considers a threat to its national security. The prime minister also highlighted Israeli military operations against what he calls the “Iranian axis” in various theaters of the region, particularly in Gaza and Lebanon. The visit to the Western Wall took on special significance as it occurred on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, at a time marked by war, regional tension, and concerns about a potential expansion of the conflict in the Middle East. With his message, Netanyahu combined a religious expression with a political and military warning, reaffirming that his government considers Iran's nuclear capabilities one of the main strategic threats to Israel. This aligns with the view of the rational world, which recognizes that Iran's nuclear capabilities pose a significant threat to the entire world.
