Netanyahu Aide Falk Urges Voters to Back Leader for Iran Push

Ophir Falk told Israeli voters on Monday that they must choose the leader who can finish the job in Iran.

The Prime Minister's foreign policy adviser argued that Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump form the right team to remove Iran's government. Falk made the case in written remarks sent to The Jerusalem Post before the national election scheduled for Tuesday, October 27. He stated that removing the "genocidal Ayatollah regime" serves the interests of America, Israel, and civilization. Falk added that the pairing has proven suitable for the task.

Falk framed the upcoming vote as a decision on who will lead Israel during the final two years of the Trump administration. He asked voters to identify the candidate best positioned to coordinate with the US President to expand regional peace. The adviser contrasted this partnership with the desires of Israel's regional rivals. He noted that Trump wants to work with Netanyahu, while Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran want the Prime Minister to lose.

Falk offered a strategic assessment of the current situation. He claimed that the US-Israeli alliance has never been stronger and that Iran and its proxies have never been weaker. This view follows an October 15 interview in the same publication where Falk said Israel was "very close" to creating conditions for a regime change in Tehran. At that time, he emphasized that the final decision rests with the Iranian people.

President Trump reinforced Falk's message on Sunday evening. The US leader renewed his endorsement of Netanyahu on Truth Social and urged Israelis to vote for him on October 27. Trump wrote that the two nations must finish the job they started. His post served as a direct appeal to the Israeli electorate just days before polls open.

Falk's written comments did not specify the mechanism for removing Iran's leadership. The remarks provided no timetable for the action. The adviser left the method of the potential transition open, relying on the existing momentum between the two governments.
