Katz says the coalition does not need authorization for military action.
Israeli War Minister Israel Katz said Thursday in a post on X that the outgoing coalition does not need the approval of the opposition to launch new 'military operations', rejecting calls for restraint from opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot. Eisenkot warned that the use of force without a "direct and immediate threat" could have "disastrous consequences for Israeli democracy and the trust of the citizens."
Katz defended the coalition's handling of Iran, saying it "showed determination and sound judgment," while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly threatened to renew the war with Iran during last month's election campaign.
