Israel adviser says Trump and Netanyahu should remove Iran's leaders

Ophir Falk, the foreign policy adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stated on Monday that the current administration should remove Iran's government.

In a written note sent to The Jerusalem Post ahead of Tuesday's election, Falk argued that the partnership between President Donald Trump and Netanyahu is the most effective combination for this task.

"Removing the genocidal Ayatollah regime in Iran is in the best interests of America, Israel, and civilization," Falk wrote. He claimed the duo has demonstrated the necessary capability to execute this goal.

Falk framed the upcoming vote as a decision on who will coordinate with the White House. He asked voters to consider who will best cooperate with the President to finish the work in Iran and expand regional peace.

Trump reinforced this message on Sunday evening. On Truth Social, the US President urged Israelis to back Netanyahu, writing, "Vote for Bibi Netanyahu for Prime Minister; we have to finish the job that we started!"

Falk contrasted this support with the goals of regional rivals. He said Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran all want Netanyahu to lose the election.

The adviser described the current strategic balance as favorable, noting that the US-Israel alliance is at its strongest while Iran and its proxies are at their weakest.

Falk previously told the Post on October 15 that Israel was very close to creating the conditions for regime change. He emphasized that the final decision rests with the Iranian people, stating, "Regime change in Iran is up to the Iranian people."
