"Nearly a century ago, facing the Nazis, a generation of leaders failed to act in time," Netanyahu stated, noting that the strategy of appeasing Nazi leader Adolf Hitler resulted in the loss of 6 million Jewish lives, "a third of my people".
This comes as nuclear talks between the US and Iran collapsed quietly, offering Netanyahu what he saw as a fleeting window to act. While Israel claims the strikes were aimed at halting potential weapons development, Tehran insists its programme remains peaceful.
