Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich spoke at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem during the IDF attack in Yemen, saying that "with God's help, we will defeat the terror shower in Yemen just as we defeated the head of the octopus in Iran and as our righteous and dedicated fighters are defeating Hamas in Gaza. There too, we are determined to continue until victory." He added that "in the last two years, the people of Israel see Religious Zionism at its peak glory: on the battlefield, among the population and unfortunately also in cemeteries. There is no space in the State of Israel where one does not see its special fingerprint. We are not just 'religious Zionists with a kippah,' we are essence. We are in the process of redemption and returning the Divine presence to Zion - and conquering the land. We will build the State of Israel."
