Israel Will Take All Necessary Measures, Katz

Following the attack by Hezbollah on Israeli civilian centers, Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz addressed dozens of foreign ministers today, stating, "If the world does not remove Hezbollah, Israel will do so itself.

I have contacted dozens of foreign ministers and activated all Israeli embassies around the world to send a clear and firm signal: Israel will take all necessary measures to protect its citizens from the bloodthirsty terrorist organization Hezbollah. This terrorist group has been attacking Israel continuously since October 8, killing dozens of Israelis, including 12 children playing football, and forcing nearly 70,000 Israelis to leave their homes. Israel has acted and will continue to act to prevent further harm to its citizens. We will not stop until we restore the safety of our people and allow the northern residents to return to their homes.

Katz also added, "The Iranian terrorist state stands behind Hezbollah, just as it supports Hamas, the Houthis, and Shiite militant formations. The world must strengthen sanctions against Iran and designate the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization."
