Maj. gen (ret.) Yoav Galant, minister of construction and housing, spoke about the Iranian threat to Israel, and stated that Israel must prepare itself for the Iranian reaction to the US cancellation of the Iranian deal. Noting that Iran had held American hostages and had attacked US carriers in the past, he claimed that President Trump recognized a bad deal and that he has put the United States back on track by announcing that they will cancel the Iranian deal. This leads to the possibility of military conflict between the United States and Iran, and if this should occur, then Israel will suffer the reaction from Hezbollah. As for Israel, Israel is in a very different situation in dealing with these threats, as its relations with the United States, Russia, China are better than ever. Israel has also learned lessons from the past, and we are more open to engage in threats because the conventional threats have weakened. Galant underlines that Israel must prepare immediately for the Iranian response to the cancellation of the Iran deal. It may not happen, but Hezbollah is could be activated in the scenario between the United States and Iran.
