Netanyahu Says Israel ‘Stands in Solidarity’ with Iranians Amid Protests

Netanyahu expressed support for Iranians' aspirations amid protests in over 40 cities, with at least 12 fatalities reported, highlighting ongoing tensions after last year's conflict.

  • On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at his weekly cabinet meeting that `We stand in solidarity with the struggle of the Iranian people and with their aspirations for freedom, liberty and justice,` as protests continued across multiple cities.
  • The unrest began last Sunday when shopkeepers across Iran staged strikes over economic grievances, sparking protests in at least 40 different cities, mostly medium-sized towns in western Iran.
  • Last year, Israel launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and residential areas, prompting a 12-day conflict in which the United States briefly joined Israel before Iran responded with drone and missile attacks.
  • Netanyahu said this week he discussed Tehran's nuclear programme with US President Donald Trump and reiterated a demand for zero enrichment plus removal of 400 kilogrammes of enriched material under strict oversight.
  • A photograph dated January 4, 2026 shows a Tehran billboard warning `Watch out for your soldiers` after a US president social-media post, and Netanyahu said Iranians may be taking their destiny into their own hands.
