Statement by PM Netanyahu – 7 March 2026

Through these methods, we turned Israel into a regional power that deters and defeats its enemies. All of this requires initiative, daring, and risk-taking. In the General Staff Reconnaissance unit in which I served as a fighter and commander, a large poster hung in the dining hall with two words, only two words: 'Who Dares Wins!' If you do not dare, if you are constantly afraid of failure, you will lose. But if you do dare, if you take calculated risks, knocking the enemy off balance, you break his spirit.

Just, exactly, what is a "regional power"?

from the net sifter:

A regional power is a sovereign state that exerts significant military, political, and economic influence over neighboring countries within a specific geographical area. These nations often act as dominant leaders in their region, shaping local security and economic landscapes, though they may not possess global, superpower-level influence.

"Bibi" is talking about Israeli hegemony, through the Middle East, the "Greater Israel" project as official government policy.

And he's doing it on our dime. The US doesn't have money for "affordable" higher education. No money for "affordable" health insurance. But we can spend $2B per DAY advancing "Bibi's" dream.
