What Israel will do if Iran, Syria, Iraq and all Muslim countries in Middle East attack us – Yair Katz
Yair Katz is the Chairman of the Israel Aerospace Industries Workers’ Counci. The industry is responsible for the production of aerospace weapons.
Over the years, the industry has seen to the invention of attack and defense missiles and other weapons that have kept Israel’s airspace safe.
The industry has also contributed to the economy, with Israel ranked the highest exporters of arms for the third year running.
Speaking on Saturday at an event in the city of Yehud-Monosson, the Chairman touched on issues and threats facing Israel, especially Iranian threat to the existence of Israel.
“If we understand that there is an existential danger here, and that Iran, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and all the countries of the Middle East decide that it is time to settle against us, I understand that we have the capabilities to use doomsday weapons,” he said.
Israel has been rumored to possess nuclear warheads, a claim that is yet to be confirmed by Jerusalem.
Israel has embraced the policy of not commenting on issues they deem controversial or provocative.
Often, the Middle-East only democracy refuse to comment on strikes conducted outside Israel, nor operations attributed to the country’s secret agency abroad.
Yair failed to pointedly say Israel has a nuclear weapon, instead, preferred to use ‘doomsday weapon’.
Israeli government has neither denied nor agreed to possessing nuclear weapon.
Israel is always protected by United States, but there have been the determination to independently guarantee its security, the guarantee could involve nuclear weapon.
Far-right wing fficials within the government had threatened to “nuke” Gaza, but each time such statement is made, the government officially distances the country from such rethoric.
Yair further said that “the Americans, the British, and the Germans help us in with intelligence. They inform us where there are moves that may endanger us.”
European nations and United States have teamed up to help Israel with intelligence gathering, and that has played well in the effort to deter Iran and their terror proxies.
Although, Hamas succeeded in evading Israel, the failure was initially thought to be from the intelligence department, but recent reports across the media said there was sufficient intelligence on the attack before it happened.
Yair also celebrated the reaction from Iranian attack on Israel, which happened after Israel bombarded Iranian embassy in Lebanon
“Our engineers and workers prepared for this scenario for several weeks, on the same Saturday when we were informed that Iran had launched an attack, a large part of our workers simply went to sleep and the greatest achievement of the aerospace industry is that we all got up for a normal morning” he bragged.
US helped Israel in downing almost all the missiles. While Israel took credit for the defense, US and other coalitions worked hard to thwart the attack.
He further appreciated the CEO of Aerospace Industry, saying he informed him the industry has been working for thirty years to ensure the defense of Israel, and the attack by Iran shows Israel can be defended at all times.
