Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken for the first time following the collapse of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.
Netanyahu described the overthrow of the regime of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as a "historic day."
In a statement made near the Syrian border, Netanyahu said, "The Assad regime, the key link in Iran's axis of evil, has fallen. This is a direct result of the blows we have dealt to Iran and Hezbollah, the main supporters of the Assad regime. This situation has triggered a chain reaction among all those in the Middle East who wish to be rid of this oppressive and cruel regime."
Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that the fall of the regime could change the balances in the region, emphasizing that the developments must be followed closely.
