Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during a press conference on Mnday evening: "Yesterday something happened, literally - the Assad regime in Syria, a central link in Iran's axis of evil, collapsed. Tehran invested many billions in Syria. It was a cruel tyrannical regime that trampled on its citizens." Netanyahu added that Syria "served as a front for Iranian terrorism and was a conduit for the transfer of weapons. Today, everyone understands the importance of our presence on the Golan Heights, which ensures our security and sovereignty."
