Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on Sunday, November 8th, that Iran is attempting to revive its nuclear weapons program, posing a significant security threat to the Jewish state. Speaking at a state memorial ceremony for fallen soldiers of Operation Kadesh on Mount Herzl, Katz emphasized that the confrontation with Tehran is ongoing and Israel must remain prepared for any scenario.

Katz asserted that Iran is pursuing nuclear capabilities alongside other actions that endanger Israel. "The mission against Iran is not yet complete," he declared, adding that Israel will not wait for threats to materialize. He stressed Israel's resolve to "firmly stand its ground, prevent a strike before it occurs, and pursue an active and offensive policy against our enemies."

The Defense Minister also called for national unity amidst internal disagreements, stating that while political and public debates are acceptable, national security must be a shared priority. "We have one country, one army, and a shared destiny, and the responsibility for their protection lies with all of us," Katz said, urging society to support the military and demonstrate to adversaries that internal divisions do not hinder national cohesion.

Katz concluded by noting that Israel faces further security challenges requiring both military strength and societal resilience. His remarks indicate that the Israeli leadership continues to view Iran's nuclear program as a primary threat and does not rule out further measures to contain it, though no specific timelines or decisions for military action were announced.
