Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he has achieved more than half of his objectives in the war with Iran but noted that no specific end date has been set.
On the 30th (local time), Netanyahu said in an interview with Newsmax in the United States, "We have clearly achieved more than half of our objectives," adding, "I don't want to set a specific timetable."
He added, "The Iranian regime will collapse from within," and "Right now we are weakening their military power, missile capabilities, and nuclear capabilities."
Earlier, Netanyahu stirred controversy after he moved to control a Catholic Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem but immediately withdrew when faced with international backlash.
He explained, "We asked that Mass not be celebrated at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in light of safety concerns," adding, "There was no malicious intent whatsoever."
