Israel Katz, the Israeli Defense Minister, wrote on the social media platform X that Israel's military campaign is not yet over and that the country has "important goals" against Iran and other fronts. He stated that Israel will pursue these goals "with military strength and political wisdom."

On Thursday, September 26, Katz referred to Gaza, saying that the policy he is pursuing alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, focuses on stripping jihadist groups of their ability to maintain territory, infrastructure, commanders, and reinforcements. He added that Israel has implemented this approach in Gaza, Lebanon, and northern West Bank. The Israeli Defense Minister also stated that the country has targeted commanders of the "Palestinian Guard" in Iran and will not allow Iran or any other party to rearm Hamas. He emphasized that Israel will continue its operations to achieve security goals and prevent a repeat of an attack similar to that of October 7.

Katz also addressed Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the President of Turkey, saying that if he wants to help his allies in Gaza, he can invite them to Antalya, but "he will not step foot in Gaza."
