Netanyahu Threatens Iran's End as Muslim Nations Condemn Gaza Emigration Calls

In early September 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a Rosh Hashanah toast to declare that 'the end of the Iranian regime is near' and that Israel is determined to 'complete the mission' of toppling it. Around the same time, eight Muslim-majority countries, including Egypt, Pakistan, and the UAE, condemned proposals by Israeli ministers Israel Katz and Itamar Ben Gvir that would promote the emigration of Palestinians from Gaza. The countries called the proposals 'provocative' and reaffirmed that establishing a Palestinian state is a condition for peace with Israel.
