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.

“At the moment, everything is on the table,” Gallant told Fox News on Sunday. “Israel will respond to the unprecedented Iranian attack in the manner of our choosing, and at the time and place of our choosing.”

Gallant’s comments came after President Biden warned Israel against hitting Iran’s oil fields. “If I were in their shoes, I’d be thinking about other alternatives than striking oil fields,” Biden told reporters Friday.

Former President Trump criticized Biden’s comments while campaigning in North Carolina on Friday, saying, “They asked him, ‘what do you think about Iran, would you hit Iran?’ And he goes, ‘As long as they don’t hit the nuclear stuff.’ That’s the thing you want to hit, right?”

The Biden-Harris administration has repeatedly attempted to curb Israel’s response to Iran’s aggression through its proxies and direct attacks. Over the weekend Vice-President Kamala Harris was asked on CBS’ “60 Minutes” if she considered Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an ally, and dodged the question, replying, “I 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.”

In his statement to Fox News on Sunday, Gallant spoke of his hopes that Israel could still work with the United States military, saying, “It 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.”

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

“We 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,” he continued. “We will operate precisely and preemptively when necessary in order to defend our citizens. … Israel has made extraordinary achievements against Hezbollah – 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.”

Gallant told CNN that Israel’s war against Hezbollah has “dismantled a major part of their capabilities” and made a crack that now opens the door to change not just in Lebanon, but in the entire Middle East.”
