National Unity party chairman MK Benny Gantz called on the government to strike Iran directly following the recent attacks by the Houthis in Yemen, one of Iran’s proxy armies.
“The solution to putting an end to the attacks lies in Tehran,” Gantz said at the weekly National Unity faction meeting Monday afternoon. “We today have the opportunity to catalyze a ‘strategic flip’ against Iran and its proxies. We must capitalize on the opportunity. It would be a strategic mistake of historic proportions not to.”
He declared that Israel “must target Iran directly” instead of merely retaliating against the Houthis.
Turning to the ongoing conflict with the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza, Gantz stated, “Israel must bring the hostages home, and the nations of the region together with the United States must work together with Israel to remove the threat of a nuclear Iranian regime.”
While Gantz is not our hero, this time we must agree with him at least as far as he’s gone.
