Defense Minister Israel Katz convened a situation assessment with the IDF Chief of Staff and senior commanders Thursday evening, reiterating Israel's determination to protect its citizens and maintain high readiness. Katz emphasized that the IDF is prepared for any scenario in defense and offense and will act forcefully against any threat.
The assessment comes as the defense establishment maintains a high state of alert amid ongoing regional tensions. Katz's statement is consistent with his recent public stance, as The Zioneer reported on July 10, when he responded to a threat from an Iranian official by saying the IDF is ready for any scenario. The defense minister has repeatedly emphasized that Israel will not compromise on its security interests and will maintain a high level of readiness.
