Guys this is what was on my mind last night. The differences between the three speeches and the unconstitutional abuse of power by President Trump. I do believe Trump should be impeached and I do support the effort to remove him from office.
Netanyahu's message to the world, Americans, the one which is being exclusively reported:
"President Trump and I often say: ‘Peace through strength.' First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight, Donald Trump and the United States acted with a lot of strength," Mr Netanyahu said in a video address after the US planes struck Iran's three main nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.
"Congratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history," the Israeli PM said.
"In Operation Rising Line, Israel has done truly amazing things, but in tonight's action against Iran's nuclear facilities, America has been unsurpassed - it has done what no other country on Earth could do. History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime - the world's most dangerous weapons," he added.
Mr Netanyahu said that Mr Trump's leadership has created a "pivot of history that can help lead the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity and peace".
"God bless America. God bless Israel. May God bless our unshakeable alliance, our unbreakable faith," he said.

that above link at least mentions the second address, altough it does not reveal its full contents: "In a separate video address, he told Israeli citizens..."
COMPARE against his full address to Israelis which was only broadcast on Israeli TV in Hebrew:
Dear citizens of Israel, my brothers and sisters. In Operation ‘Am Kalavi’, we achieved unprecedented achievements together in Israeli history.
“You remember that from the beginning of the operation, I promised you that Iran’s nuclear facilities would be destroyed, one way or another. This promise was fulfilled.
“A short time ago, in full coordination between me and President Trump, and in full operational coordination between the IDF and the United States military, the United States attacked Iran’s three nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
“In doing so, the United States continued, with greater intensity and with great force, the attacks of the IDF and the Mossad on Iran’s nuclear program. This program threatened our very existence and also endangered the peace of the entire world.
“Immediately after the operation was completed, President Trump called me. It was a very warm, very moving conversation. He blessed me, he blessed our army and he blessed our people. And I congratulated him, the United States pilots, and the American people.
“President Trump is a strong leader of the free world. He is a great friend of Israel, a friend like no other. In my name and on behalf of all the citizens of Israel, on behalf of the entire Jewish people, I thank him from the bottom of my heart.
“And I know, citizens of Israel, that I speak from the bottom of each and every one of your hearts. We stand together, We fight together, And with God’s help – we win together. As the verse says, “We will ascend, for we can overcome them,” Netanyahu wrote.
[Netanyahu concluded his remarks with the message "We stand together, we fight together, and with God's help – we win together," and quoted from the weekly Torah portion – "Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it" (Numbers 13:30). In a separate video message in English...]
"First comes strength, then comes peace," he said, before adding, "And tonight, President Trump and the United States acted with a lot of strength."

NOTE: There is a difference in this sentence between the translation I saw live which is posted above and the one at Israel Hayom. This is the line, either:
"He blessed me, he blessed our army and he blessed our people. And I congratulated him, the United States pilots, and the American people."
OR: "He blessed me, he blessed our military and he blessed our people. And I blessed him, the United States pilots and the American people,"
Finding out which is accurate would require hearing if he used the same exact word to describe Trump "blessing" and himself either "congratulating" or blessing.
In the beginning of Netanyahu's English X video, he does actually congratulate Trump for the bombing.
US Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said President Donald Trump committed an impeachable offence by his "disastrous decision" to bomb Iran's nuclear sites.

I saw the translation live last night on AgendaFreeTV. Here is a video with translation (congratulate not bless is in the feed)
underneath his addresss on Israeli television, spoken in Hebrew:
Obviously, the two messages are different in their suggestions and assumptions. Netanyhu's address to the Israelis speaks of the war continuing until a total victory is complete with regime change and Israel's ascension in the Middle East, to create the new Middle East. (AND BEYOND in his X post)
We fight together, And with God’s help – we win together. As the verse says, “We will ascend, for we can overcome them,” Netanyahu wrote.

There is no existing congressional authorization for the use of force against Iran. While some in the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have made arguments attempting to link Iran and al-Qaeda — in what may be an effort to lay the groundwork for invoking the 2001 AUMF, which was passed in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, as authorization to use force against Iran — that argument is thoroughly unconvincing.
The 2001 AUMF authorizes the president to use:
“necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.”
This has long been understood to refer to al-Qaeda and the Taliban, who harbored al-Qaeda in Afghanistan at the time of the 9/11 attacks, and also has been interpreted by all three branches of government to apply to “associated forces” of those two armed groups based on the principle of co-belligerency in armed conflict.
As we have previously written: “The 2001 AUMF does not authorize the use of force against Iran. Iran was not implicated in the 9/11 attacks, Iranian forces are not al Qaeda or the Taliban, or their associated forces, nor are they a ‘successor’ to any of those forces.”
Experts who advised a president answer basic questions on when action against Iran would be lawful, and what options Congress has to oppose it.

Transcript of Trump’s speech on US strikes on Iran
lines why which Trump will argue his attacks were legally defensible under the 2001 AUMF:
"the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror.", and: "They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs, with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We lost over 1,000 people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East, and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate in particular."
The claims above have been said by others, but they are not actually verifiable, and contradict reported events and casualties. Iran did not attack American troops in Syria or Iraq, except for the one time it sent a missile to an empty base in response to Solemani's slaying by Trump and Israel. It is an indisputable fact reported by all agencies around the world the the Iranian Quds Force was fighting ISIS and Al-Queda, at the request of Syria and Iraq, not Americans. American adminstrations were using these proxies to fight Iran and topple Assad, and to steal resources, and also to fight the supply of Iranian aid to Hezbollah and Assad.
These actions cannot be classified as terrorism, and they do not have any association in concert with the alleged terrorist groups responsible for September 11th.
As a matter of bare fact, Iran was always fighting against Al-Queda, and ISIS.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment,” the US Congresswoman wrote on X.
