Israel’s War Cabinet to Convene Again to Discuss Response to Iran’s Missile and Drone Assault
Israel’s war cabinet, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defence Minister Gallant, and former Defence Minister Gantz, is set to convene again to discuss the country’s response to Iran’s recent missile and drone assault. Reports suggest that a direct Israeli response to Tehran is not imminent, as the government weighs its options for offensive and defensive action.
US President Biden recently had a phone call with Netanyahu, where he reportedly dissuaded Israel from retaliating against Iran. Despite this, Israel is keeping its options open and is prepared for both offensive and defensive measures against Iran.
World leaders have been calling for restraint and de-escalation in the region, with some expressing concerns about a potential Israeli response. The UK, France, and Russia have urged against further escalation in the conflict.
Iran has claimed that the recent attack was a retaliation for an Israeli strike in Syria and stated that they did not have a pre-arranged agreement with any country for the assault. Iran has also called on the western nations to appreciate its restraint in recent months.
In Israel, normality has somewhat been restored after threats from Iran’s proxy groups. Schools have reopened, but tensions remain high. Israeli jets shot down a drone, and tit-for-tat attacks with Hezbollah continued into Monday.
The situation between Israel and Iran remains tense, with the international community closely monitoring the developments. The outcome of the upcoming war cabinet meeting could have significant implications for the region. Stay tuned to The Bib Theorists for the latest updates on this developing story.
