Benjamin Netanyahu is keeping up his threats against Iran as Israel approaches its Oct. 27 election, declaring that removing the Iranian regime is the country’s main task.

The prime minister made the remarks during a meeting at the Kirya defense complex in Tel Aviv with Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and other commanders. Netanyahu said Israel had pushed back the Iranian threat and claimed that the government in Tehran was “stumbling and weaker than ever.”

Our main task ahead is to overthrow the Iranian regime, and we have confidence in our capabilities.

“We have confidence in our capabilities, and our main task ahead is to overthrow the Iranian regime,” Netanyahu said. He described that goal as difficult but attainable and close, presenting it as the central mission facing Israel.

Netanyahu also claimed that Iran had not attacked Israel because of Israel’s response and argued that the country remained united. The remarks come as opinion polls show Yashar, the party led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, ahead in the election race. Netanyahu has fallen behind in the surveys, and the article says he has intensified his external rhetoric and threats before the vote.
