Israeli Defence Minister Says No Need for Opposition Approval to Launch Strikes
Katz said Israel’s security decisions remain with the prime minister and defense minister, as the army keeps striking Hezbollah and maintaining a buffer zone in southern Lebanon.
- On Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the government does not need approval "of either the opposition or any legal authority" to continue military operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
- Gadi Eisenkot, tasked with forming the next Israeli government, warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday against "using security forces in the absence of a direct and immediate threat."
- Katz specified the government retains authority to maintain a "security zone" in Syria, protect Golan communities, evacuate Hebron, and continue operations against terrorism in Judea-Samaria.
- Officials affirm the administration remains responsible for "decisions relating to Israel's security" within existing oversight frameworks, with only the prime minister and defense minister instructing the Israeli army.
- The Israeli army maintains a "buffer zone" occupying more than 600 square kilometers in southern Lebanon, while Israel continues to act "according to what the situation requires" regarding Iran.
