Netanyahu claims that Israel is fighting a ‘battle of civilisation’ against Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has framed the confrontation with Iran as a wider ideological struggle, saying Israel and the United States are engaged in a “battle of civilization against barbarism”.

Speaking during a visit by Argentian President Javier Milei, he said Israel has been “engaged with the United States in a battle against the great tyranny of Iran, which terrorizes the world, which seeks our destruction and seeks to bring down the United States, seeks to bring down Western civilization as we know it”.

“We have achieved enormous things. It’s not over yet,” he added. “Any moment could bring us new developments.”
