Defense Minister Israel Katz launched a sharp attack on Gadi Eisenkot, claiming Eisenkot is prepared to immediately withdraw from the security zone Israel established in Lebanon. "I suggest he not deny it, lest I be forced to prove it," Katz stated, warning that such a move would effectively allow Hezbollah to return to the border and abandon residents of northern Israel. Katz accused Eisenkot and his allies of spreading a false claim that the Prime Minister and Katz himself are planning an attack on Iran for political reasons, aiming to prevent elections. He asserted that disseminating such claims encourages the enemy to attack Israel. Katz also criticized the positions of Eisenkot and Yair Golan regarding military operations in Gaza and Iran, stating that Eisenkot "will not teach me what responsibility and true security are." Katz declared, "We have changed Israel's security concept to a policy of initiative and offense." He explained this policy involves confronting threats and defending communities from deep within enemy territory, and pledged to continue it if the public grants them renewed trust.
