Katz says US ending sanction waivers is needed to fight Iran, Hezbollah

Acting Foreign Minister Israel Katz welcomes the US decision to “move to a policy of zero exemptions for energy exports from Iran.”

“Only tough steps of this kind will force the ayatollah regime in Iran to completely stop the development of the dangerous nuclear program and their support for Hezbollah and the other terrorist organizations in the region,” Katz says in a statement. “Israel will continue to be a loyal partner of the United States in the struggle against Iranian aggression.”
