Iran Attack Puts Pressure On Benjamin Netanyahu While Allies Call For Caution

All eyes are on Israel Following Iran’s unprecedented attack, but its war cabinet has not indicated a preference for the course of action, while allies who helped avert the strike urge caution.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been less vociferous than usual, has yet to specify the shape, form, or timing of his response to Iran’s first direct attack on Israeli soil.

Iran launched around 300 drones and missiles on Saturday in response to an April 1 strike on the Islamic Republic’s consulate in Damascus, which was mainly blamed on Israel.

Faced with allies advocating caution on one side, and some domestic politicians asking for a tough response on the other, Netanyahu has met with his military cabinet twice and called US President Joe Biden.

However, he has not commented publicly about the matter since Sunday, when he praised the Israeli Defence in a brief social media post.

Israeli army chief, Herzi Halevi, told soldiers on Monday that Iran’s attack would be met with a response, but did not say when or how.

On the night of the Iranian launches, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir emphasized the importance of a strong response.

Itamar Ben Gvir tweeted, “Impressive Defence until now — now there must be a crushing attack”, through his official ‘X’ handle.
