Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett addressed the 2022 Davos World Economic Forum virtually on Tuesday, where he urged the international community to avoid financially supporting the Iranian regime.
“Iran is an octopus of terror and instability. Their head is in Tehran, and they send their arms all across the Middle East and get involved in Lebanon with Hezbollah in Iraq, in Syria, in Yemen with the Houthis,” Bennett told world leaders.
“The last thing you want to do with this sort of octopus is pour tens of billions of dollars into this apparatus. Because what will you get? You’ll get terror on steroids. Right? Everything we’ve seen will be doubled and tripled because they’ll be much stronger,” he said.

The Israeli army said Tuesday that airstrike operations carried out this year hit “dozens” of targets in Syria and have limited the ability of Iran to funnel arms to its proxies in the region.
“The increase in the scope of operations over the past year has led to a significant disruption of the movement of weapons into the various arenas by our enemies,” IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi stated.

Talks between Iran and world powers surrounding a possible return to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) resumed in Vienna this week.
Hopes for a breakthrough in the talks are slim, with European envoy Enrique Mora saying that achieving a positive outcome is “going to be very difficult, it’s going to be very hard,” according to Reuters.
“Difficult political decisions have to be taken both in Tehran and in Washington,” said Mora, who is coordinating the talks.
He added that the window of time for such decisions to be made was closing quickly, according to the report.
