“forge a different future, a different Middle East, and also a different world”
Reported October 18, 2026 by jpost.com. Checked word for word against that report.
In a Fox News interview on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is seeking reelection in the October 27 Knesset vote, listed three goals for another term: eliminating what he called the Iranian threat to Israel, the U.S., and the world; expanding the Abraham Accords; and making Israel a leader in artificial intelligence. He presented those aims as steps toward a transformed region and wider world. Netanyahu alleged that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles intended to reach the United States, and he linked Tehran to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis while saying Iranians themselves are not the enemy. He also praised President Trump’s leadership on military and economic blockade measures.
