On his first day in office as Foreign Minister on Tuesday (2/1), Katz accused Tehran of actively developing nuclear weapons.
“The front that Iran is building in this region is not only against Israel and its interests; it is a third world war in the current situation,” Katz was quoted as saying Anadolu Agency.

“We are going through challenging times. First of all, my top priority is to get the hostages home [dari Gaza],” she said.
Until now, it is estimated that there are still more than 100 Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Meanwhile, almost three months into the Israeli genocide in Gaza, more than 22 thousand Palestinians died, while millions of people were also displaced.
Of the tens of thousands of victims who died, more than half were women and children.
