In late July 2026, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned that any Iranian attack on Israel would be met with a “crushing blow,” following a high‑level security assessment with senior military leaders. He also responded to a stabbing incident in the Samarian region, reaffirming Israel’s intent to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and strengthen settlements. A few days later, Katz turned his attention to Turkey, telling President Recep Tayyip Erdogan not to “mess with Israel” and asserting that Jerusalem is Israel’s forever. He cautioned that the “axis of the Muslim Brotherhood could become very dangerous” and reiterated Israel’s decision not to withdraw from security zones in Lebanon, Gaza and Syria. ~~Both statements reflect a consistent pattern of~~ On 28 July 2026, Katz ~~projecting a hardline stance toward regional actors perceived as threats~~ reiterated the warning to Erdogan, again emphasizing Jerusalem’s permanent status and Israel’s ~~security.
