Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the government does not require approval from the opposition or any legal entity to direct the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to carry out military and security operations. In a statement released today, Katz specified that these directives encompass targeted operations in Gaza, defensive and offensive actions in Lebanon, maintaining a security zone in Syria to protect Golan Heights communities, and continuing counter-terrorism operations in the West Bank.

Katz added that Israel has demonstrated resolve and sound judgment in confronting Iran, in full coordination with the IDF, and affirmed that this approach will persist as needed. He emphasized that "Israel's security is not in a transitional phase, nor is it awaiting ongoing political processes," asserting that there is one prime minister and one defense minister who direct the army, and one government responsible for decisions concerning Israel's security and the protection of its residents, within the existing and required oversight framework. Katz concluded by stating this approach has been in place and will continue in the future.
