Foreign Minister Katz talks Iranian threats with Egyptian counterpart
Foreign Minister Israel Katz says he spoke with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry a short while ago about the threat posed by Iran to the region and Israel’s right to defend itself.
“I told him that Iran and its affiliates are the main threat to the stability of the Middle East, and that the moderate countries in the region, together with the countries of the world, should act in order to curb Iran’s aggression,” Katz writes on X, formerly Twitter.
He adds that the two countries will “continue to work together to maintain stability and security in the region.”
