Gallant Warns: Iran Wants To Turn Ramadan Into The Second Phase Of October 7, Set Fire To West Bank.

Israel is entering a dangerous phase and must exercise the utmost caution during the upcoming Muslim month of Ramadan, Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned on Tuesday.

Speaking at a situational assessment in advance of Ramadan at the IDF’s Central Command, Gallant said Israel sees a “growing preoccupation of Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas to turn the month of Ramadan into the second phase of October 7 and set fire to the area.”

“We must not give Hamas what it failed to achieve since the beginning of the war and connect the combat arenas,” Gallant said.

In the past, Hamas repeatedly attempted to connect its armed conflicts in the Gaza Strip to tensions in Jerusalem, especially over the Temple Mount, in order to set fire to the West Bank and create a second front against Israel.

Gallant continued, “The main goal of Hamas is to take Ramadan, with an emphasis on the Temple Mount and Jerusalem, and turn it into the second phase of their plan that began on October 7.

Iran and Hezbollah are propagating this goal.”

Therefore, the defense minister stressed, Israel should do everything possible to calm tensions in every arena.

Israel should pursue this goal by, on the one hand, stopping and eliminating all terrorists who are trying to inflame the area with terror attacks.
