Israeli FM says expecting allies to attack Iran if it strikes

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on Friday that he expects the US-led coalition countries to join Israel not only in defence but also in attack against significant targets in Iran in case Iran attacks Israel.

Katz made the remarks in a meeting with French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne and British Foreign Secretary



David Lammy, who arrived in Israel in a bid to prevent regional escalation and promote a hostage deal between Hamas and Israel, according to a statement issued by the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

The Israeli minister told the visiting ministers that Israel expects France and Britain to publicly clarify to Iran that it must not attack Israel.
