Israel's caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that overthrowing the Islamic Republic is the only way to permanently remove Iran's nuclear threat to Israel, Iran International reports.
Speaking on Tuesday as the new Knesset was sworn in, he warned that Tehran is trying to revive its nuclear programme. That claim has not been independently checked.
According to France 24, he "again" called for a national unity government, citing Iran's "nuclear threat" and acknowledging an international shift after last week's US elections.
Gadi Eisenkot, who was tasked on 8 November with forming a government, said the speech showed Mr Netanyahu was unfit to remain in office. He told the chamber:
"I sat and listened to the outgoing prime minister's delusional, divisive, hate-filled and shameful speech, exploiting a state occasion"
France 24 reports that Eisenkot's party, Yashar, is moving to set up a commission into the failures behind the 7 October 2023 attack.
