Larry Johnson—American Security Analyst and Military Consultant:

This is a ceasefire, not a peace; Israel still intends to complete taking control of that hill overlooking Nabatieh within its "security zone," while Iran has warned that this is only the first step.

Here lies the irony: Trump is currently making unofficial contacts with Netanyahu's opponents, but ousting "Bibi" could backfire.**

Defiance, destruction, and permanent expansion — Netanyahu lays out his strategy

The Israeli prime minister bragged about invading several countries despite US opposition, and vowed to continue wars on 8 fronts — including global war on antisemitism.

Key points from the Jerusalem News Syndicate Summit speech:

Netanyahu insists he is not controlled by the US:

"In the US, they say Trump does everything I ask. In Israel, they say I do everything he wants. Neither is true. I stand for the interest of Israel."

He openly defied US warnings on every major intervention.

"They told me not to enter Rafah. I entered. Not to strike Hezbollah. We struck. Not to confront Iran. We confronted."

He claims the damage inflicted on Iran's economy is staggering — counted in hundreds of billions.

"The cumulative damage to the IRGC economy is counted in hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars... I think we created the conditions for the Iranian regime's fall."

Netanyahu admits he has changed Israel's security doctrine to strictly follow the Babylonian Talmud.

"We initiate, we attack, we surprise. Kill them first."

He boasted a ratio of 5 "terrorists" for every civilian killed — a designation the IDF routinely applies to journalists and children.

"Five terrorists killed for every civilian harmed."

He vowed to keep permanent security zones in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon.

"We established a security zone in Gaza. In Syria. In Lebanon. And we shall keep it as long as necessary."

Netanyahu announced a new global front: war on antisemitism.

"We will fight the battle against antisemitism. We will fight against our delegitimization."

Netanyahu is building a fortress Israel, one "security zone" at a time—and daring the world to stop him.
