The defense minister concluded his tenure and warns of the ties between Moscow and Tehran: "This will have an impact on the entire region." According to him, Israel has the ability to attack Iran, but "you have to think carefully before using it."
In addition, he warned of an escalation on the Temple Mount that would spill over into Gaza and the northern sector: "Not a fictional scenario"
"The competition with Iran is on the whole spectrum - technology, academia, the war of fire, space, the transfer of weapons to terrorist organizations and more," said Gantz. "Israel has the ability to operate in Iran and we are committed to continuing to strengthen it. We have readiness, development capabilities and long-term processes.
We need to prepare for this possibility and we will also need to consider this issue very carefully before carrying it out."
