"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of how Israel 'changed the Middle East' ahead of Independence Day celebrations on April 21, during a presser at his office in Jerusalem on Sunday. "If we thought that after the Holocaust, this antisemitism would disappear from the world, it has not disappeared from the world. It has not disappeared from the world for generations, and it is not expected to disappear either," Netanyahu noted, as he hosted the torchbearers of the upcoming anniversary event. "A little over a year ago, it became clear to us that Iran is going to prepare atomic bombs to destroy us. This is not an empty statement; this is not a spin [...] We had to act. We changed not only the Middle East. We changed ourselves because we do things that no country dreamed of doing," he underlined. A ceasefire between Iran and the US-Israel alliance came into effect last week, though disputes remain over whether it extends to Lebanon. Talks between the sides ended in Islamabad on Sunday without agreement. On Friday, Netanyahu, amid a fragile 10-day ceasefire with Lebanon, insisted that Israel still has 'plans' to address remaining threats from Hezbollah. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reaffirmed that ongoing negotiations with Israel are focused on 'ending the aggression' against his country and establishing enduring agreements to protect the nation's rights and sovereignty. US President Donald Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, which came into force on Friday. The announcement of the ceasefire came after direct talks between Lebanese and Israeli officials in Washington, marking the first such exchange in decades."
