Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says Israel’s enemies will “regret” attacking the country.
“The State of Israel will not tolerate attacks against its citizens, and our enemies will regret it,” says the far-right finance minister, a member of the high-level security cabinet.
“A severe blow to terrorism is required, along with the return of deterrence to the State of Israel,” Smotrich says.
“In these moments, we leave all disputes, accusations, and political considerations and unite against our enemies,” the Religious Zionism leader says.
