JERUSALEM, June 27, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday he saw an opportunity to "enlarge peace accords" after the end of a 12-day war against Iran.

"We have fought with determination against Iran and achieved a great victory. This victory opens the path to dramatically enlarge the peace accords," he said in a video address.

His comment was an apparent reference to the Abraham Accords, US-sponsored agreements struck by Israel to normalise relations with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco.

Israel and Iran each claimed victory in a 12-day war that ended with a ceasefire on June 24.

After the war, Israel said it would refocus on its offensive in Gaza, where Hamas militants are holding Israeli hostages.

"As well as the freeing of our hostages and victory over Hamas, a window of opportunity has opened" for broader peace accords, Netanyahu said in his video.

"We must not miss it. We must not lose a single day."

The Abraham Accords were overseen by Donald Trump in 2020 during his first term as US president.

Saudi Arabia also opened talks with Washington on the prospect of normalising ties with Israel.

Israel launched its devastating Gaza offensive in response to Hamas's deadly attacks in October 2023.
