Prime Minister Netanyahu in a '40 signatures' speech in the Knesset:

No one knows what the day will bring.
We are keeping a watchful eye.
We are prepared for any scenario.

I made it clear to the Ayatollah regime that if they make the worst mistake in their history and attack Israel, we will respond with a force they cannot imagine.

This is not the time for bickering.
We are on the eve of the Purim holiday. In those days, as in this time, we must close the ranks of the nation.
To stand shoulder to shoulder. Side by side. I am confident in our strength. I trust our commanders. I trust our male and female fighters. I trust our people. I trust you, citizens of Israel. We have already proven that when we stand together, we achieve great accomplishments.

On the eve of Purim, we will stand together and ensure the eternity of Israel.
