Foreign Minister Katz responded today (Monday) to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khameini's claim on X that "The Zionist regime is gradually melting before the eyes of the people of the world. It is coming to an end."
Among other things, Katz noted that "Hamas is crushed, clinging to Israeli hostages and Gaza residents as human shields. Hezbollah has suffered hundreds of casualties and severe infrastructure damage, and if a full-scale war develops, it will be crushed and its leaders eliminated.
"Iran's attempt to attack Israel failed and created a global and regional coalition against Iran. The State of Israel has immense military capabilities that have yet to be deployed on the northern front and, if necessary, against Iran. The EU and the UK have joined the US for the first time in imposing sanctions on Iran's missile and UAV programs and its proxy terror organizations."
