Speaking in Jerusalem, Netanyahu highlighted the strength of the Israeli economy, noting it had withstood two major crises: the COVID-19 pandemic and the two-year conflict in Gaza. He praised the country’s innovation and technological achievements, pointing to cyber, artificial intelligence, and military capabilities demonstrated during the 12-day war with Iran.
“There is a race now for weapons in the world… we are going to produce an independent arms industry, very powerful, very strong, that can withstand any kind of international political constraints and will provide security for the State of Israel,” Netanyahu said.
He also revealed that he had spoken with U.S. President Donald Trump following an attack on Qatar, adding that Trump had invited him to The White House in two weeks, following his speech at the United Nations.
