FM Katz says ‘no doubt Hezbollah crossed all red lines,’ Israel facing ‘all-out war’
Foreign Minister Israel Katz says he spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the deadly Hezbollah attack on Majdal Shams, without giving details about what they discussed.
“There is no doubt that Hezbollah crossed all red lines,” Katz tells Channel 12 news. “We are facing an all-out war.”
“I have no doubt that we’ll pay a cost,” he adds, but insists Israel will exact an even higher cost from Hezbollah.
He also claims that Israel will have “full backing” from the US and Europe.
But pressed to give specifics though about what will change in Israel’s actions, he demurs.
