Deputy Knesset Speaker Nissim Vaturi, a member of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, hinted on Thursday that a resumption of war with Iran may be imminent.

Speaking during an interview with Kol Chai, he said: “We’re in critical days ahead of the opening of a campaign against Iran, closer than ever to a return to war. We have to finish this story called Iran.”

In response to a question about whether he would fly abroad in the next few days, he responded: “I would think twice about flying next week. We’re approaching a critical stage.”

Also on Thursday, during a memorial ceremony ahead of Yom Yerushalayim for the fallen soldiers of the Six-Day War and the War of Attrition at Mount Herzl, Defense Minister Yisrael Katz delivered strong messages toward Iran and Hezbollah and made clear that Israel is preparing for the possibility of renewed military action against Tehran.

“Iran suffered extremely severe blows over the past year, and yet our mission is not complete,” Katz said. “We must complete the objectives of the campaign.”

“As I have said before, we’re prepared for the possibility that we may soon be required to act again to ensure the achievement of these objectives.”
