Israeli Economy Minister, Nir Barkat, asserts that Iran is a "legitimate target" for Israeli missile strikes, heightening the possibility of a broader conflict. In an interview, Barkat discusses a range of contentious issues, advocating for a tough stance against Iran and the elimination of the Hezbollah threat. He criticizes the handling of the Gaza war, expressing a desire for a more aggressive approach. Additionally, Barkat announces a shift in labor policies, declaring Palestinians from the West Bank ineligible for work in Israel, and proposes importing over a quarter-million foreign workers. His statements coincide with rising influence within the ruling Likud party.
