Bangkok Post
|June 28, 2025
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday the outcome of Israel's war with Iran presented opportunities for peace that his country must not waste.
-
In a statement, Mr Netanyahu said: “This victory presents an opportunity for a dramatic widening of peace agreements. 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.”
Earlier in the day, Israel Hayom, quoting an unnamed source, said Mr Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump agreed in a phone call this week on a rapid end to the war in Gaza, perhaps within two weeks.
