It was enough to hear the talking points recited by Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz on the radio after Israel’s attack on Iranian “killer” drones this week to raise suspicions that the prime minister’s political interests were behind the operation. Katz called Iran the head of a snake being defanged by Israel. Katz repeated the message over and over, and it’s significant that he strives to etch in listeners’ minds Benjamin Netanyahu’s role in deciding to attack the drones and his contribution to the country’s security.

Not three hours after the broadcast, Netanyahu himself appeared all over the media taking credit for the attack, warning Iran and any other country aiding hostile attacks against Israel, and promising the people that he had given orders to do whatever necessary to ensure their security.
