There are many contradictions between Tel Aviv and Tehran, which may clearly outperform the differences that occupy the conflict between Israel and Iran. The Talib of Aib is a new city The British Mandate On the land of occupied Palestine on the outskirts of the city of Jaffa, before expanding at the expense of the original city and the Palestinian villages whose people were abandoned, to become the first city of Jews in the modern era, and their first capital.
On the other hand, Tehran is an ancient city whose roots date back to several centuries (although it did not develop into an administrative and political center except in the eighteenth century), while it belongs to a more ancient geographical environment that the countries and empires inherited over the course of thousands of years since the ancient kingdoms of Alam, through the Sassanids and Achaemenists to the modern era.
While the geography of Tel Aviv is extended in front of the sea, which is five meters above its population, with a population of no more than half a million people, Tehran is fortified with a rising mountain range, sitting on slopes up to 1900 meters above sea level, and crowded with more than 14 million people.
In the midst of the modern Tel Aviv buildings, and in an underground hidden hideout, the densely seated screens in front of them are deluded that the machine is able to resolve the war to the extent that these people forgot that the land in which they hide in its interior possesses the word decisiveness. Through a small screen between these screens, a strongly worded war tweet escaped, in which Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz threatens to burn Tehran, while Israeli planes were launched to pour their explosive tonnas over dozens of sites in the Iranian capital.
But after 12 days of the fiery debate, Tehran did not burn as Katz vowed, and its inhabitants went down to the streets to celebrate after the announcement of the cease Ismail Qalni The commander of the Quds Force, which published the New York Times, published the news of his death in an Israeli strike a few days ago.
On the other hand, the world watched the Iranian missiles lighting the sky of Tel Aviv, fiercest many myths about the safe “land of Israel” and its imperfected sky.
This is the first war in which it is Israel Katz On a high -level military position since the beginning of its political history, a war that fits its course and results with his “poor” balance, the man shares with his prime minister in the small military history compared to those who preceded the leadership of the wars that Israel fought. While the two men descended from an east of a European east, and they together embrace the same pattern in the practice of war, they seem to share much more than that.
Tweets are a substitute for facing death
Yisrael Katz was born in 1955 in the occupied city of Ashkelon for parents who came from the Marmurich region of Romania. Thus, Katz himself found a part of the community of immigrant Jews from Romania to Israel, and who are carrying a history of persecution he practiced on them. Communist system The Roman before migration to the “Promised Land”.
The community of Roman Jews in Israel holds a long legacy of stories about “barter”, where the ruling regime in Romania has been spent in Romania for money, alfalfa, agricultural mechanisms, and even bulls and pigs. Over the course of four decades, the two governments imposed a comprehensive contradiction on all the details in that strange relationship.
The regime in Romania was replacing its Jewish citizens with the Israeli government for $ 120 for the person, and the returns of this process reached between 1948-1952 approximately 15 million dollars, according to the Israeli newspaper “Haarerts”, as well as those who were bound against a pig deal by the Jewish businessman “Henry Jacober”.
In general, the number of Jews of Romanian descent in Israel is approximately 400 thousand people, who still see in their Roman nationality a reason for pride despite everything, and within this social fabric that boasts of his elite, the couple Katz pushed their son to the Hebrew University that carries the symbolism of the “Zionist Vanguard” as it was established before the establishment of the state Zionism 23 years old and is the first cradle for the “Israeli national identity” industry by adopting the Hebrew language as a language for teaching and transactions at the university.
Katz’s Fatwah was not free of reckless works that may explain his increasing “aggression” in his old age. More than forty years ago, the university president, Rafael Mashwam, was detained in his room against the background of violent protests against the university administration for allowing it to join Palestinian students from the occupied cities and their appearance on its campus, then the university stopped him from practicing student activity for a full year.
Katz I to enter Israeli policy in 1998 was an alternative To Ehud Olmert In the Knesset membership on Likud partyWhere he worked in several committees, including foreign affairs and security, finance, law, constitution, justice, interior and environment. He also worked in the Public Settings Committee, the Joint Committee for the Security Budget, and the Special Committee to discuss the law of the security apparatus, and also served as president of the Likud party conference.
By 2003, he assumed his first ministerial bag in the Ministry of Agriculture within a government Ariel Sharon. After that state, Katz began accusations of corruption of his fans from his family by giving them government positions and privileges, taking advantage of his ministerial position, and as is the case of Netanyahu, his current partner in the war, he escaped from these accusations and continued to be submitted at his government positions, taking over the transportation portfolio and then the Ministry of Intelligence before he took the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs for the first time in 2019.
After that, Katz occupied financial bags, then energy and infrastructure before returning to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again in the beginning of 2024. By November of the same year, Katz was appointed as Minister of Defense after Netanyahu’s dismissal to his predecessor Yoaf Gallant.
On his journey full of “political extremism”, Katz spared no opportunity through which he could try to erase what “Arabic” and prove what is “Hebrew”, as soon as he received the Ministry of Transportation in the Netanyahu government in 2009, he issued a decision to change banners on the roads to bear the names of the regions in Hebrew, and the translation into English and Arabic is literal about Hebrew, without writing the original Arabic names for regions. But this “cultural aggression” did not help prevent Palestinian resistance fighters from carrying out attacks on these roads against the Israelis; Soldiers and settlers.
Katz also tried through Knesset Legislation of a law to deport the families of the resistance, except for what has been known for its vision of its vision Gaza Strip It reached the limit of withdrawing from the Sharon government in 2004 at the latter’s announcement Disenibility plan The withdrawal from the Strip, and when the time took place, Katz returned to threaten parts of the Gaza Strip if Hamas did not release the prisoners in the wake of the seventh of October.
While he calls his hands to write condolences for the dead soldiers in the ambushes of the resistance in the Gaza Strip, Katz deafens his ears from all the calls made by the soldiers and behind them the Israeli society to beg to stop the war, instead of more condolences that are sought by the same conclusion: their memory is blessed!
And if Katz appears in his words boasting in a way that does not stop with the power of Israel, then instead of addressing his depleted community regarding the “hostage issue” and the crises that followed by the confrontation with Iran, he turns to address the Palestinians in Gaza, calling them to go out to protest to expel Hamas from the sector at the same time that his army kills his army and fails to restore them, in what appears to be a new level of poverty. The intellectual “that Israel has faced since the beginning of the war.
In the sense of political deterioration, Katz chose to attribute the demands for the release of prisoners of the occupation to dozens agitation From Gaza and the immediate launch of Israeli “hostages”.
Small at the foot .. Outstanding on the top
In his new position, Katz faces unprecedented challenges in his career, showing his poverty and limited compared to his predecessors. Between a war that did not stop in Gaza, and an ongoing internal conflict since the crisis of judicial reforms, then the repercussions of the failure of the seventh of October, and the debate over recruitment Haridim And the threat to dissolve the Knesset and the movements of the settlers to include the West Bank, all the way to war with Iran.
This crowded table with difficult issues may need a more experienced and practicing minister, but Netanyahu alone did not see that. Everything that the longest -service prime minister wants in the history of Israel is a war minister in harmony with his decisions, which enables Netanyahu to preserve his government, and to pass the decisions he wants to manage the war without facing military and balanced figures opposing him, as was the case in Gallant, which was sacked by the government against the background of his support for the recruitment of Haraid.
The loyalty to Netanyahu is the largest qualification of Katz in his new position. It appears that the man compensates for his professional poverty by launching more statements of threat, oppression and intimidation, unlike his threat to “burning Tehran”, as Israel’s enemies vowed by saying: “If the enemies raise a hand against the State of Israel again, that hand will be cut off,” as well as using an arrogant language through which he tries to suggest that the survival of politicians and symbols in the region is subject to that, for example. This is what he said about the threat to the assassination of the supreme guide in Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where he said: “A man like this cannot allow him to stay.”
It was not long days until Katz himself announced that Israel had no opportunity to assassinate Khamenei. The Iranian guide alone was not on the list of Katz’s threats, as he directed his angry words against Naim Qasim, the Secretary -General of Hezbollah, by saying: “Israel has lost its patience towards the terrorists who threaten it. If it committed terrorist acts, it will not remain HezbollahHe also launched similar threats against the leaders of Hamas and the Palestinian resistance.
This extravagance in statements and threats is reminded of a French example that says: “bright on the foot, is dark on the top”, and it is an example used by the Clausviets military scene a metaphor that the most favorable war leaders throughout history were the most confused in their military beginnings.
Here lies the paradox that Katz embodies his impulsion in the statements, as he wants to break, burn and do the acts with his opponents, while his service in the army did not exceed three years is his recruitment period between 1973-1977, in which he did not reach advanced sites and a military sensitivity that qualifies him to possess that kind of expertise obtained by former Israeli generals who held the position of defense minister, The closest example is his predecessor, Joaf Gallant, who has advanced military experience in excess of thirty -five years, or more than ten times the Katz military experience.
And between what the battle imposes on the ground from changing circumstances, and between statements and high -ceiling threats, it seems as if Katz is trying to build his military glory in the seventy years of his life in the most critical stages of Israel’s history, and he does so while receiving successive military surprises not only on the Iran front, but also in the Gaza Strip in which Israel has been fighting the war for more than 20 months without any horizon to achieve the promises of Cats and Netanyahu to return The hostages through more military pressure.
Sword
In the midst of this language of threat, Katz did not succeed in making decisions according to the words he launched with an absolute glorification of the power of Israel, and he is still unable to instill in his soldiers the audacity to confront in the battlefield enough so that they would not flee with a heavy mechanism from a fighter with a simple weapon that he tries to open, as it appeared in the video that I published Al -Qassam Brigades To target the Zionist soldiers’ bus in Khan Yunis recently. Instead, the Minister of Defense was satisfied with the condolences of the families of these soldiers through his account on the “X” platform, describing them as brave fighters who were killed while defending the State of Israel and seeking to liberate the hostages.
Katz loves to express himself a lot through the communication sites, but the Israelis comments on him are often shocking to his pride. in Tweet His account on the X platform on the confrontation with Iran, Katz received many The satirical responses From the Israelis, and another was scolded Like those that you described The server is for narrow partisan interests instead of being a servant of the interests of the supreme state. The owner of the same tweet wondered, “Who are you? Commenting on the Internet? You are the Minister of Defense against the sky!”
The Maphran dictator has become a cowardly killer who shoots a deliberate shooting toward the civilian home front in Israel to deter the IDF from the continuation of the attack that collapse its abilities.
Tehran residents will pay the price and soon.
– Israel Katz Israel Katz (@israel_katz) June 16, 2025
Reactions against Katz are not limited to the communication sites, but they hit the ranks of the army that leads him. In early June, the British “Guardian” published a report in which it said that forty army officers sent a message to Netanyahu refusing to continue serving in the eternal war he is fighting against the Gaza Strip, because they see that it only aims to continue Netanyahu in power, and Katz did not comment on that message.
Katz sees and hears what his angry army officers and soldiers say, including members of the most elite unit of 8200 in the army, where they say: “Several hostages have already been killed by the IDF bombings … while the government continues to sacrifice their lives,” but they do not have the ability or authority to answer their demand. Unlike his absolute dependency of Netanyahu Shubra with an inch and an arm with an arm, the man of wars in Israel today is the owner of soft hands that the bliss of diplomatic life, where the ties of the neck and ironing collars carefully, used to carefully, than to constipation of weapons in the field.
While his ministerial site is taking a tool to achieve Netanyahu’s dictates for the continuation of the fighting, the army under the leadership of Katz continues to lose its soldiers on the fronts of the fighting while it is hit by divisions and calls to stop the war, and the entire Israeli society is torn behind. In some way, this reminds what was reported by “James Glick” in his book “The Theory of Chaos”, quoting an American folklore song saying: “Because of a nail, a horse fell, and because of a horse’s horse, and because of a horse, a knight fell, and because of a knight, a battle was lost, and because of a battle that was lost in a kingdom,” Knowledge, as in life, serial accidents reach a critical point, after which the effect of small things is inflated.
Where will Katz the army, which claims to be the strongest in the Middle East and its community, will take while continuing to publish more tweets and condolences?
