Israel Katz

A short time ago, a senior Hamas terrorist was arrested, and this is our policy: We do not wait for threats. Instead, we pursue Hamas terrorists, thwart them, and destroy their terrorist infrastructure. We have built a strong and…

The message to the Syrian president is clear.

A balloon and a kite shall be treated the same as a drone – with or without explosives.

This is how the IDF acted today in eliminating Hamas terrorists, and this is how it will continue to act with force to protect our soldiers and ensure quiet in the southern settlements - from the security zone.

We announced in the clearest terms that if Israel is fired upon, we will attack with all our might. We are prepared to strike Iran.

We know how to manage things, and we are prepared.

Why didn't I sign for the settlers? Because that is not terrorism. Only someone who acts against the security of the state, someone who acts to harm [the state].

The arrogant empire that threatened to destroy Israel has collapsed.

Not once did I sign for them [the settlers]. But who do I sign orders for? A lot. A lot. I sign for cases of Palestinian terrorism - suspects brought by the Shin Bet when it isn't yet possible to put them on trial.

On my own initiative, as soon as I realized what was happening, I canceled all administrative detention orders against settlers in Judea and Samaria.

If Iran fires missiles at Israel, we will attack them with full force.

If we have to go back, we will go back, with even greater force.

The army is ready and on alert for a resumption of fighting, in order to regain air superiority and strike again … in Iran, to eliminate threats, including a third time if necessary. If we have to go back, we will go back, with even…

The IDF will not withdraw and will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza – indefinitely – to protect our residents and communities from jihadist elements.

We crushed the nuclear program it was advancing and removed an existential threat from over the citizens of Israel.

There will be no Israeli redeployment in southern Lebanon, and there will be no withdrawal whatsoever as long as the Hezbollah terrorist organization has not been disarmed throughout Lebanon and the safety of the residents of the north has…

Every dollar that is kept from the IRGC is a dollar that will not reach Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and Iran’s terrorist proxies.

We will continue to target all the financing routes of the Iranian terrorist axis, everywhere and by any means.

The campaign against Iran is not only being waged on the battlefield - but also in the fight for the money that drives terrorism.

Our policy for defending the borders of the State of Israel, as led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and by me as Defense Minister together with the IDF, is clear.

Anyone who smuggles weapons, equipment, or funds to terrorist organizations in Gaza is part of the terrorist network itself and will pay a heavy price.

We are not retreating.

If Iran tries to attack Israel to prevent the implementation of the agreement, we will act against it with great force.

The prime minister and I have instructed the IDF to prepare for an extended stay in the security zone.
