The opposition members, who are located outside Iran, asked Bennett to "continue your nation's correct policy of the past several years of weakening the terrorist forces of this regime, especially the Revolutionary Guards, with increased decisiveness."
Iran has accused Israel of engaging in sabotage against key installations, including against a centrifuge manufacturing facility in June. Another attack took place in the Natanz uranium enrichment facility.
Israel has refused to confirm whether it was behind such attacks but Bennett, who became prime minister in June, has sounded the same rhetoric as his predecessor Benjamin Netanyahu on Iran, saying Israel would do everything to prevent it from getting a nuclear bomb.
The signatories congratulated Bennett for his recent appointment as prime minister, adding that the two peoples have much in common.
"The Iranian people have consistently and clearly expressed their opposition to the regime's anti-Israel and anti-Semitic policies. We believe that a democratic Iran, supported by its rich culture and history, will be a strategic ally of Israel and a productive member of the international community in establishing peace and stability, specifically in the Middle East. We await the day when the two ancient nations of Iran and Israel, under the auspices of the Cyrus Accords, establish serious political, cultural, economic, and technological relations and we believe that day is closer than ever."
