After President Biden had warned Israel not to strike Iranian nuclear sites or oil fields after the terror state had fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel, Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant responded by declaring that Israel would do whatever it felt was necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment, everything is on the table,\u201d Gallant told<\/a> Fox News on Sunday. \u201cIsrael will respond to the unprecedented Iranian attack in the manner of our choosing, and at the time and place of our choosing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gallant\u2019s comments came after President Biden warned Israel against hitting Iran\u2019s oil fields. \u201cIf I were in their shoes, I\u2019d be thinking about other alternatives than striking oil fields,\u201d Biden told<\/a> reporters Friday.<\/p>\n

Former President Trump criticized Biden\u2019s comments while campaigning in North Carolina on Friday, saying, \u201cThey asked him, \u2018what do you think about Iran, would you hit Iran?\u2019 And he goes, \u2018As long as they don\u2019t hit the nuclear stuff.\u2019 That\u2019s the thing you want to hit, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Biden-Harris administration has repeatedly attempted to curb Israel\u2019s response to Iran\u2019s aggression through its proxies and direct attacks. Over the weekend Vice-President Kamala Harris was asked<\/a> on CBS\u2019 \u201c60 Minutes\u201d if she considered Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an ally, and dodged the question, replying, \u201cI think, with all due respect, the better question is, do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people? And the answer to that question is yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his statement to Fox News on Sunday, Gallant spoke of his hopes that Israel could still work with the United States military, saying, \u201cIt is important for us to hold discussions on strategic cooperation between our countries and defense cooperation in light of the threats posed by Iran and its proxies. We are powerful when we are aligned and I want to make sure of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gallant spoke of terrorists arrayed from Gaza in the south to Judea and Samaria as well as Hezbollah \u2014 the largest terrorist group in the world which was planning an invasion of Israel far more deadly than the October 7 Hamas massacre \u00a0\u2014 in the north.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have conducted counterterrorism activities in northern Gaza and in Judea and Samaria, following intel indicating that terrorists were planning Oct. 7-style attacks on Israeli citizens,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe will operate precisely and preemptively when necessary in order to defend our citizens. \u2026 Israel has made extraordinary achievements against Hezbollah \u2013 we will do what it takes to defend our citizens and our sovereignty. This includes eliminating their attack capabilities, taking out leadership, and placing a weapons embargo on Hezbollah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gallant told CNN<\/a> that Israel\u2019s war against Hezbollah has \u201cdismantled a major part of their capabilities\u201d and made a crack that now opens the door to change not just in Lebanon, but in the entire Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n
