Defense Minister Israel Katz hosted a group of right-wing activists and social media influencers at his office in the Kirya in Tel Aviv Thursday, on the 1,000th day since the October 7, 2023 massacre. The meeting, reported by Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh (N13 / Army Radio), included figures such as Aviaad Gadot, head of the 'Torat Lechima' organization, and Eliyahu Yossian, founder of the 'Jewish Homeland Movement.' Participant Liran Baruch said Katz provided a security briefing on all fronts and promised to establish a follow-up team to address the activists' concerns.
The gathering occurred as Israel observed the 1,000-day mark since the Hamas-led attack, a day marked by ceremonies and protests across the country. Katz, who has served as defense minister since 2024, has repeatedly stressed the need for Israel to maintain security zones beyond its borders.
No official statement from Katz's office has been released regarding the meeting's outcomes.
