Defense Minister Bnei Gantz said today (Monday) that Israel and the United States are working together on another plan in case Tehran does not agree to sign the nuclear deal.

"We are also working to define what 'Plan-B' is and to see that if there is no agreement, other actions will begin - as President Biden said," Gantz clarified.

He added that the countries share intelligence information, and that regional cooperation between the two is getting stronger.

The defense establishment sent a message to the United States that if Iran reaches a nuclear threshold (a few months away from a nuclear bomb - AB), the situation will encourage more countries to acquire similar capabilities and accordingly begin a global rather than regional nuclear race. Facing challenges in the region, led by Iran.

"If Iran reaches the nuclear threshold, I have no doubt that many countries will also try to acquire this capability and create an arms race that will endanger many countries in the world and not just the Middle East," Gantz stressed, "Iran under a nuclear umbrella will increase aggression in the region."

The defense establishment also clarified that Israel has the ability to attack nuclear sites, but at the same time the existing capabilities must be strengthened and expanded, a topic for which the government has given an additional budget.

Israel is also working to strengthen cooperation with the countries of the region to build an intelligence picture and alert against missile and rocket launches - which will be much broader than what exists today.

This, in a way that will allow time for better preparation for civilians and armies to defend themselves.

It is estimated that his regime will be significantly more conservative than its predecessors.

The security system also takes care of the large amount of military equipment left in Afghanistan in the logistics field, which includes trucks, engineering tools, mobility tools, communication and navigation systems and night vision devices.

Worse, the equipment also includes helicopters and aircraft that can still be used without arms dealers, hostile countries and terrorist organizations.

It is estimated that the United States will take a tougher stance in the Middle East, with an emphasis on Iraq, against the background of the weak image that clung to it following the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and in addition will strengthen operational-intelligence cooperation with Israel.

The Lebanese arena is also a cause for concern, mainly due to consolidation efforts in the southern Golan Heights, Hezbollah's precision project, the acquisition of an air defense system and their transfer to Lebanon, and developing cyber capabilities.

As for the Gaza Strip, the defense establishment refused to comment on behind-the-scenes processes on the issue of prisoners and missing persons (Shun) but clarified that progress in the deal involves a "painful price."

"Also in the nature and intensity of our reactions, also in the transfer of Qatari money whose mechanism is different, and also in the civil issues and the dependence of the rehabilitation on the Shun as I said at the end of the campaign," Gantz detailed.

"Our attacks in Gaza are targeted and hit with intensifying elements that hurt Hamas and deprive it of capabilities. I cannot guarantee that we will not continue from the 12th day of the Wall Guard," he warned.

"I told Abu Mazen and I also tell you that we are not going and the Palestinians are not going anywhere tomorrow morning. I came to the meeting to build trust and preserve the interests of the State of Israel, and our important ties with the Palestinian Authority that I believe should be strengthened," Ganz said.

"The stronger the Palestinian Authority, the weaker Hamas will be, and the more governance it will have, the more security it will have, and we will have to act less," he concluded.
