Herzog declared, \u201cThere is a huge opportunity to change the trajectory of the Middle East for the better, but there is also significant risk as long as the regime in Iran remains in power and continues its efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Herzog emphasized that Iran\u2019s influence extends far beyond its borders. \u201cEvery proxy we face\u2014whether it\u2019s the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, or groups in Iraq\u2014are supported, funded, organized, directed, controlled, and trained by Iran. They operate day and night, even now, instead of taking accountability, looking in the mirror, and seeing the damage, destruction, and pain they have caused with their barbaric attacks and those of their proxies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president urged global powers to remain vigilant, warning, \u201cI caution the world not to fall into a false sense of optimism but to remain alert and clear-eyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13445\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13445\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/iran-flagherzog-article.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"606\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/iran-flagherzog-article.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/iran-flagherzog-article-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/iran-flagherzog-article-768x465.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iranian Flag | Photo: Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Chief of Staff\u2019s Resignation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Against the backdrop of IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi\u2019s resignation earlier today, Herzog commented, \u201cHe is an exceptional hero of Israel who took responsibility\u2014both in his initial statement on October 7 and in his resignation letter\u2014for the IDF\u2019s failure to prevent the horrific attack on October 7.\u201d<br \/>\nHerzog reiterated the need for a thorough investigation into the events of that day and called for a state commission of inquiry. \u201cWe are a democracy. Everything is discussed openly. We are a vibrant and dynamic democracy, with all its challenges and problems,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hostage Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Herzog also addressed the complexities of negotiating the release of hostages, acknowledging the mixed feelings surrounding such deals. \u201cI truly understand those who have reservations and strong emotions because we are releasing cruel and horrific terrorists. That\u2019s the trade-off. We are seeking to free women and children, and in return, we are paying the price by releasing brutal and barbaric terrorists. But we all agree this must be done. Bringing them home is a top priority for the State of Israel,\u201d Herzog emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>President Herzog\u2019s remarks come as tensions in the Middle East escalate, with Israel\u2019s potential military action against Iran and its ongoing efforts to secure the release of hostages highlighting the delicate and dangerous balance of regional dynamics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid reports that \u201cIsrael has decided to strike Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities,\u201d Israeli President Isaac Herzog delivered significant remarks tonight, outlining both the risks and opportunities in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":13444,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,65],"tags":[2337,1539,1812,2699],"class_list":["post-13442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-security","category-world","tag-hostage-deal","tag-iran","tag-isaac-herzog","tag-world-economic-forum"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
