Eli Cohen Deceased

Israeli Minister of Energy Eli Cohen on Iran:

I think that, from our perspective, it would be better if there were no agreement. We can continue putting pressure on Iran.

And I tell you: another two or three years, with God’s help, the regime in Iran will fall.

Remember where this started- we made sure to sow all those seeds that will lead to the fall of the regime.

Israeli Minister of Energy Eli Cohen:

Saudi Arabia needs peace with the State of Israel much more than we need peace with Saudi Arabia.

Today everyone sees the State of Israel as the strongest power in the Middle East.

Israeli Minister of Energy Eli Cohen:

We will not accept Turkey's entrenchment in Syria.

If Turkey establishes bases in Syria, we will also act to establish bases within Syria itself.

Israel Cabinet member Eli Cohen: "Iran knows very well why it hasn't attacked Israel in the last two weeks. If it makes the mistake and attacks, we will respond with greater force than in the last campaign. Iran is not attacking Israel because it is deterred."

Israeli Minister Eli Cohen: Slovenia's new right-wing government revoked recognition of Palestine, embassy moving to Jerusalem.

IDF: A terrorist who took part in the kidnapping of Hirsh Goldberg-Polin, Eli Cohen, Alon Ohel, and Or Levy at the Re'im junction on October 7 has been eliminated.

Israel's Energy Minister Eli Cohen: The Islamic Republic's leader is in hiding and under pressure. A Hormuz blockade would push Iran's economy toward collapse. If Tehran restarts its nuclear program, Israel will strike.

The IDF says the impacts at Haifa’s oil refineries were caused by falling debris after an Iranian ballistic missile was intercepted, not by a direct strike.

The military stresses there were no direct hits on the facilities in the northern coastal city.

Energy Minister Eli Cohen says the attack caused no significant damage to critical infrastructure.
