Netanyahu approves $12 billion boost to security budget

• 'Israeli' Defense Minister Israel Katz says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved a $12 billion increase in the security budget over the next decade.
• Katz describes economic pressure on Iran as a key front in protecting 'Israel's' security.

'Israeli' Defense Minister Israel Katz said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to add the equivalent of $12 billion to the country's security budget over the next 10 years.

Katz said the additional funding is intended to strengthen long-term defense capabilities amid ongoing regional challenges.

The 'Israeli' minister also described the economic campaign against Iran as “one of the important battlefronts” for the security of 'Israel'.

According to Katz, every dollar reaching Iran could ultimately find its way to groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, as well as other Iranian allies in the region.
