Defense Minister Israel Katz speaks with his British counterpart John Healey, telling him that Israel will act with force to prevent Iran from smuggling weapons into Lebanon.
Katz tells Healy that Israel will respond with force to any violation of the ceasefire in Lebanon and says that Iran is continuing to try and establish new fronts against Israel, according to a readout from Katz’s office.
Katz thanks Healy for the UK’s efforts to help prevent Iran from destabilizing the region.
Katz tells Healy that Israel’s main priority is freeing the hostages in Gaza and that Israel expects the UK to oppose calls for a ceasefire that isn’t conditioned on the return of the captives.
