Israel Katz

Israel has no intention of withdrawing from the Beaufort, which is an integral part of the security zone in Lebanon and essential for the defense of the Galilee settlements and IDF forces.

As Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu and I have clarified—Israel will not withdraw from the security zone in Lebanon.

Katz also warned Iran that if Iran attacked Israel in response to its campaign in Lebanon, Israel would retaliate with “full force.”

We will have the ability to act independently to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

The IDF will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza - indefinitely.

If Iran attacks Israel due to the events in Lebanon - we will attack it with all our might.

Israel will not withdraw from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.

The IDF will continue to defend our borders and our citizens from the peak of Mount Hermon, the mountains of Lebanon, the areas of our land in the Samaria region, and most of the territory of Gaza.

We expect him to uphold this principle, and other principles in the field of missiles and terrorist proxies.

The prime minister made an important decision to attack, and we must expand the armaments even further. The Treasury needs to give more money, and I agree that much more needs to be given to the IDF.

We reject Iran's threats outright.

Any attempt by Iran to use ties with Lebanon to attack Israel will be met with great force.

Israel will ensure justice is served against the perpetrators of the most brutal massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, and will send a clear and unequivocal message to all our enemies: whoever massacres…

The rioters who carried out this serious act have no connection to the Torah or the values of the people of Israel.

In the Prime Minister's name and in my own, congratulations to the IDF and the Shin Bet on the brilliant execution.

We committed ourselves to eliminating everyone who led the October 7 massacre, and that is what we will do: They are all marked for death, wherever they may be.

Hamas terrorists and Gaza residents that any violation or attempt to cross the line will be met with fire.

We will open the gates of hell on Gaza City.

The painful blows have begun.

Anyone who raises a hand against Israel will have it cut off. The Houthis will continue to pay a heavy price for their actions.

The fate of Yemen is the same as the fate of Tehran.

If (Khamenei) had been in our sights, we would have taken him out.

In light of Iran's complete violation of the ceasefire declared by the U.S. President and the launch of missiles towards Israel, and in accordance with the Israeli government's policy as determined to respond forcefully to any violation —…

Ayatollah Khamenei will be held accountable for his crimes.

I warn the Iranian dictator against continuing to commit war crimes and launch missiles toward Israeli civilians.
