Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country reserved the right to protect itself following Iran’s unprecedented strike, and it will decide how to do so.
Iran launched nearly 300 drones and missiles against Israel over the weekend, but the majority of the projectiles were intercepted, resulting in little damage.
Israel has vowed to respond, resulting in a diplomatic frenzy aimed at stabilizing the Middle East.
Israel’s allies in Washington and Brussels have promised to tighten sanctions on Iran, while British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock are the first Western envoys to visit Israel since the strike.
Netanyahu warned the visiting ministers that Israel would reserve the right to protect itself.
“The pair offered all kinds of suggestions and advice during a meeting”, Netanyahu continued.
Netanyahu went on to say, “However, I would also like to clarify: we will make our decisions ourselves”.
Tehran has threatened to retaliate if Israel replies to the Saturday attack, which came after a deadly strike on Iran’s Damascus consulate building earlier this month, which was widely blamed on Israel.
Meanwhile, the Gaza war, which has heightened regional tensions, continued unabated, with efforts at a truce beginning to falter, as crucial mediator Qatar announced it was reconsidering its involvement in the stalls talks.
