01 · THE DISPATCH

Defense Minister Israel Katz will sit for a special live interview tonight on Channel 14's 'Weekend with Yaakov Bardugo,' according to an announcement by the broadcaster. Katz, a veteran Likud minister, rarely gives extended one-on-one interviews outside of formal briefings or official events. The interview is expected to cover the security situation on multiple fronts, including the northern border with Lebanon and ongoing operations against Iran-backed forces. As The Zioneer has reported, Katz previously spoke with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth earlier this week, underscoring the high level of coordination between Jerusalem and Washington on defense matters. No further details on the interview's specific timing or topics have been released.
