“We look with concern at the attacks on our friendship in the region, which we believe are being carried out with the guidance and approval of Iran, and with weapons some of which were manufactured in Iran and whose knowledge of their operation was acquired in Iran,” Ganz said. “We are also seeing what is happening in Iraq, where Iran is currently trying to intervene by Quds Force in the centers of influence. “.
“Iran is infringing on shipping freedom, its attacks from Iran using UAVs have also claimed the lives of innocent civilians from Britain and Romania off the Gulf coast in the past year. Iran is endangering civilian flights, which could be damaged by UAVs, some of which have no ability to change course.
Hezbollah threat: “If we are required to attack, Lebanon will be held responsible”
Ganz also referred to events around Lebanon and said: “Iran is responsible for arming its emissaries in Lebanon, and undermines the sovereignty and governance of the country. Only this week we saw several attempts by Hezbollah to violate Israel’s sovereignty. In this context I say clearly “
“A nuclear deal, if signed with Iran, is not the end of the verse,” Gantz clarified. “Action needs to be taken to ensure that Iran does not continue to enrich other facilities and to increase oversight. It is important to ensure that the Atomic Energy Agency continues to investigate and monitor open cases. “Carrying nuclear warheads has been halted. Care must be taken that the validity of the agreement does not allow Iran to turn the restrictions into” expiration dates “and to continue it.”
“Every effort must be made to ensure that Iran never becomes a nuclear-state,” he concluded. “We must never come to terms with it, and Israel will never come to terms with it.”
