"Israel will respond with full force": FM Katz responds to murder of hostages
Katz also said that "Hamas is responsible and will pay the full price" for the murder of the six hostages.


Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded to the murder of the six hostages on X today (Monday), saying that "Israel will respond with full force to this heinous crime" and that "Hamas is responsible and will pay the full price."
Katz previously posted a statement on X saying that "The brutal murder of six Israeli hostages by Hamas serves as a stark warning to any country that has recognized or is considering recognizing a Palestinian state after the October 7th massacre. A Palestinian state would be controlled by Hamas, backed by Iran, and would become a radical Islamic dictatorship, threatening Israel and moderate nations in the region."
Katz then tagged the foreign ministers of Ireland and Spain to reverse their recognition of a Palestinian state.
