Energy Minister and security cabinet member Eli Cohen said Friday that if Iran attacks Israel, the response will be immediate and forceful, and labeled Qatar an 'enemy state' that generates antisemitism and works against Israel.
Minister Eli Cohen's Friday remarks reinforce a consistent hardline message from the Israeli security cabinet. The warning to Iran, that any attack will be met with immediate and forceful response, aligns with previous statements by Cohen and other Israeli leaders. His characterization of Qatar as an 'enemy state' that foments antisemitism reflects a deepening Israeli critique of Doha's regional role. The comments come amid heightened tensions, with ongoing exchanges of threats between Israel and Iran.
