Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi on Tuesday addressed the US–Israel campaign against Iran, saying Israel was pleased that its ally fought alongside it but that Jerusalem will always defend its national interests regardless of allied support. "We were very pleased that our ally fought together with us," Karhi said. "The State of Israel will always defend its interests, with or without other friends." His comments signal continued partnership while underscoring Israel's independent security posture. The statement follows similar remarks from Defense Minister Israel Katz, who earlier described the joint campaign as a "dramatic achievement." A separate Zioneer bulletin (Mon 22 June) noted that Iran's Foreign Minister Araqchi framed every Iranian step – diplomatic, military, or otherwise – as part of a larger struggle for national honor.
