Israel’s defense minister expresses his fears of a possible escalation of tensions in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Yoav believes that the pro-Iranian Shiite organization Hezbollah operating in Lebanon and the radical Palestinian movement Hamas could use the period to intensify their actions.
One of Hamas’ goals is to use the fasting of Ramadan with a focus on the Temple Mount and Jerusalem and turn it into the second phase of their plan, which began on October 7.
Building on these developments, the minister emphasizes that Israel must remain vigilant and do everything to thwart these plans.
