Israeli Defense Minister Katz: There is no need for opposition or legal approval for operations in Gaza, Lebanon.
Katz said that the prime minister and the defense minister alone lead the IDF and do not need approval from the opposition or any legal authority to order operations to prevent threats in Gaza, or defensive and offensive operations in Lebanon. He also said that Israel has shown firmness and wisdom in dealing with Iran, in full coordination with the IDF, and that it will act in the same way now, as required.
