Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel’s recent victory in its conflict with Iran opens a path to expanded peace deals, including the possible addition of Saudi Arabia and Syria to the Abraham Accords.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that Israel’s success in the conflict with Iran has created a “dramatic” opportunity to broaden peace efforts across the Middle East. In a statement, he urged swift action to build on the momentum.
“This victory presents an opportunity for a dramatic widening of peace agreements,” Netanyahu said. “We are working on this with enthusiasm. Alongside the freeing of hostages and defeat of Hamas, there is a window of opportunity that must not be missed. We cannot waste even a single day.”
His remarks came just hours after a report in Israel Hayom claimed that Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump had agreed in a phone call earlier this week to accelerate an end to the Gaza conflict—potentially within two weeks. The newspaper, citing an unnamed source, said the plan could involve expanding the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords to include Saudi Arabia and Syria.
Netanyahu’s office declined to comment on the report, but in a press appearance on Sunday he said the weakening of Iran had already begun to reshape the region.
“We have broken the axis,” he said. “This is a huge change and Israel's status is rising, not just in the Middle East but also in the world. This is a tectonic shift.”
The Israel-Iran ceasefire announced by Trump earlier this week has raised hopes among Palestinians of an end to more than 20 months of intense fighting in Gaza. The conflict has left vast areas of the territory destroyed and most residents displaced, with malnutrition now widespread.
With diplomatic momentum building, Netanyahu expressed confidence that Israel is entering a “bright new future” marked by greater stability and international partnerships.
“We will see a bright new future, of security, of prosperity, of hope and of peace,” he said.
