His plan had two parts. "First, we must do everything we can during these two years, and during the following two years, in the American arena, through good times and bad," he said. "The second thing is to create other alliances. That is what I am working on now with many countries in our region and outside it. India is not a small country, and there are many others."
He also looked to Latin America. "There is a major shift in Latin America, and there could be an enormous change in Brazil in just a few days," Netanyahu said, adding that Israel must widen its circle of allies and develop capabilities that make it valuable to everyone. Of European governments that condemn Israel and then seek its cooperation, he said: "I tell them: It depends on you. It depends on how you behave."
In a social media post the same day, he returned to the theme: "We have another two years of my friend President Trump's term, and this is exactly the time to complete our major missions on every front." i24NEWS reported that he paired the message with a call for supporters to vote, framing the election as "either the right or Palestine."
On defense, Netanyahu announced plans to allocate about 450 billion shekels over the coming decade. He said the IDF must grow, though artificial intelligence would reduce some manpower needs. "I am putting about 450 billion shekels into this so that we have the capabilities and the teeth," he said.
On Iran, Netanyahu said Israel had achieved about 90% of its objectives, but the regime would try to rebuild its nuclear program and its regional axis. "Our plan is very comprehensive and very determined, to bring about the downfall of the regime," he said. "That is the directive I have given all the security agencies, and that is what will happen." Israel would act alone if needed, he added: "We have already done so, and if necessary, we will do so again."
Netanyahu ruled out any normalization deal that includes a Palestinian state, calling it "off the table." He said he hoped to avoid a head-on confrontation with Turkey but did not expect relations to improve under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He described ties with Russia as resting on interests that "do not always overlap. Sometimes they even clash."
The Jerusalem Post reported that Netanyahu also addressed "settler violence," including weekend attacks in Judea and Samaria on European diplomats and a photographer working for the Washington Post. He called the issue "greatly exaggerated" but condemned the attacks. "You do not take the law into your own hands," he said.
Former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot, who leads the opposition Yashar party, dismissed the doctrine. "Two hollow pages, full of slogans that have nothing whatsoever to do with a security doctrine, reveal more than anything the strategic vacuum Netanyahu has left the State of Israel in," he said.
Hours after the briefing, Trump endorsed Netanyahu's reelection bid. In the endorsement, Trump wrote that if Israel chose anyone else, America would have to confront Iran alone. At the same briefing, Netanyahu also said that Israel does not agree with Trump on Turkey.
