Netanyahu said Iran has hopes of destroying Israel from within a short range, perhaps via one of its proxy terrorist groups along Israel’s borders north or south.

He pointed out that the Islamic State terrorist organization is rapidly losing the remainder of its territory in Syria. But as that happens, said Netanyahu, Iran filling the space left behind.
