In a powerful statement aimed at Iran’s pro-Western population, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has called on the people of Iran to seize the moment and take a stand. His message followed a wave of Israeli strikes inside Iran amid escalating tensions between the two nations.
“Israel did its part. Now is your time to rise up,” Bennett declared, urging Iranians who seek a freer, more democratic future to make their voices heard. The statement comes at a time of heightened unrest within Iran, as the country grapples with internal dissent, economic instability, and growing isolation on the global stage.
Bennett’s remarks have drawn attention across the Middle East and beyond, seen by many as a direct appeal to the Iranian public rather than the ruling regime. His message underscores Israel’s position that the current conflict is not with the people of Iran, but with a government it views as oppressive and dangerous.
