Ophir Falk, the foreign policy adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has called for the removal of Iran's government. In written remarks provided on Monday, Falk argued that the alliance between Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump is the optimal vehicle to execute that change.

"Removing the genocidal Ayatollah regime in Iran is in the best interests of America, Israel, and civilization," Falk wrote. He stated that the Trump-Netanyahu team has proven itself suited to the task.

Falk framed the upcoming election as a decision on who will lead Israel during the final two years of Trump's presidency. He asked voters to consider who will best coordinate with the U.S. leader to complete operations in Iran and extend regional peace.

President Trump reinforced this message on Sunday evening. In a post on Truth Social, the U.S. president renewed his endorsement of the Israeli prime minister. "Vote for Bibi Netanyahu for Prime Minister; we have to finish the job that we started!" Trump wrote.

Falk contrasted this partnership with the stated desires of Israel's adversaries. He claimed that Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran all want Netanyahu to lose the vote. Conversely, he asserted that the American-Israeli alliance has never been stronger while Iran and its proxies have never been weaker.

The adviser first raised the prospect of regime change in an interview on October 15. At that time, he described Israel as being very close to creating the conditions for a change in Tehran's leadership. He emphasized that the decision ultimately belongs to the Iranian people, noting that regime change is up to them.

His new written comments did not specify the methods the two nations should use to achieve this goal. The remarks also provided no specific timeline for when the removal of Iran's leadership would occur.
