JERUSALEM, ISRAEL (NPA): Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on the people of Iran to unite in pursuit of political change, urging mass demonstrations against the government.
In a televised broadcast on March 1, 2026, Netanyahu described the moment as “historic,” encouraging Iranians from diverse communities to “take to the streets” and “secure their future.” He emphasized that the opportunity for freedom “comes once in a generation” and urged citizens not to remain idle.
He said, “In the coming days, we will strike thousands of targets of the terrorist regime. We will create the conditions for the brave people of Iran to free themselves from the chains of tyranny.
“And for this reason, I address you once again: O citizens of Iran, do not let this opportunity slip away. This is an opportunity that comes only once in every generation.”
“Do not sit idle, because your moment will arrive soon. The moment when you must take to the streets, come to the streets in your millions to finish the job, to overthrow the regime of terror that has embittered your lives. Your suffering and sacrifices will not be in vain.”
The help you have longed for has now arrived. Help has arrived, and now the time has come to unite for a historic mission. O citizens of Iran, Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Ahwazis, and Baluchis— Now is the time to unite your forces to overthrow the regime and secure your future.”
Netanyahu’s remarks come amid heightened regional tensions and the ongoing military operations targeting elements of Iran’s ruling establishment.
