Israel Katz

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

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

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

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

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.

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…

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.

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

We are not retreating.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

We reject Iran's threats outright.

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…
