Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has said Israel has no plan to attack Iran before the country’s coming election.
He also denied reports of an unprecedented dispute over Iran between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and army chief Eyal Zamir.
In a post on the social media platform X, Katz said reports of differences between the political leadership and the Israeli military over Iran were completely baseless and false.
“I state unequivocally that Israel had no intention or plan to launch an attack on Iran before Israel’s election,” he said.
It has been made clear that if Iran attacks Israel, the country will respond very strongly, he said, adding that all the reports published on the matter were completely false.
Earlier, a report by Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 said a sharp disagreement had arisen between Netanyahu and army chief Zamir over a possible military operation related to Iran.
That operation could create a risk of conflict with Iran before Israel’s election. Katz’s statement rejected the report.
