Israel's military and other security services are undergoing their biggest rearmament in recent years, said Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, the Times of Israel reported.

Bennett's comments came at a time when the Israel Defense Forces are working intensively to prepare for a potential military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, amid growing concern that ongoing negotiations between world powers and Tehran in Vienna could lead to an agreement that Israel considers unacceptable.

Bennett, speaking before the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs and defense, said that the rearmament is important for their survival, and he is happy about it.

 This rearmament is important for our survival, and I am very happy about it and determined to see it through," Bennett said, speaking before the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs and defense.

Bennett's government has increased the defense budget for 2022 to nearly 60 billion shekels ($19.2 billion), most of which is to be used for planning the war confrontation with Iran, including billions to modernize or buy vehicles, ammunition and more.

Bennet said that Israel will not be a party to the Iran nuclear deal and will do whatever it deems necessary to ensure the country's security.

"Regarding the negotiations in Vienna, we are really concerned. Israel is not part of the agreements, Israel is not bound by what is written in the agreements if they are signed, and Israel will continue to ensure its full freedom to act anywhere and anytime without any restrictions," Bennett said.
