Israel Warns Iran of Severe Retaliation, Rejects Pakistan in Gaza

Israel's Economy Minister Nir Barkat warned Iran that if they attack again, Israel will hit them back seven times harder.

He also said that Pakistan is not welcome to help in Gaza because they support groups that cause trouble.

Barkat accused Iran of causing problems in the Middle East by supporting groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

He said Israel's goal is to protect itself, not to change Iran's government.

Barkat hopes that one day, Iran and other countries can become friends with Israel.

He also supports a peace plan from the Trump administration and thinks it's a good idea for local Arab leaders to help govern Gaza.

He doesn't think a separate Palestinian state is a good idea right now.
