Israel’s Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, recently addressed the complex security challenges facing both Israel and Ukraine in a detailed conversation with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. This discussion covered a wide range of pressing issues including the conflict in Gaza, tensions on Israel's northern border, and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Katz conveyed the essence of their discussion on his verified Twitter account, emphasizing the strong relationship between Israel and Ukraine. He touched upon the critical threats posed by militant groups in Gaza and Hezbollah’s activities in the north, both of which are heavily influenced by Iran. The two ministers shared their perspectives on the pressing need for enhanced security cooperation.
In his tweet, Katz highlighted the urgent need for international action against Iran, particularly targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Katz stated, “I spoke yesterday with the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine @DmytroKuleba. We discussed the good relations between our two countries, as well as the war in Gaza and the situation on Israel's northern border, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the Iranian threat. I highlighted the importance of international action against Iran and the need to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. Iran is a threat to Israel, Ukraine, and the rest of the world. We must stop Iran now, before it is too late.”
This call to action reflects Israel’s deep concerns over Iran’s influence and its capacity to destabilize the region and beyond. Katz’s statement underscores the necessity for a unified global stance against Iranian aggression, which he argues is crucial not only for Israel and Ukraine but for international peace and security as a whole.
The conversation between Katz and Kuleba highlights the interconnected nature of contemporary security threats and the importance of robust international cooperation.
