Israel Postpones Response to Iranian Attack Following Netanyahu-Biden Call
Israel is not expected to respond immediately to the recent Iranian attack.
A potential counterstrike was called off after a discussion between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joe Biden. At 15:30, the war cabinet will convene. While ministers have called for a sharp response to Iran's actions, Israeli sources told the New York Times that the decision has been deferred for now. The reason cited is the relatively minor damage caused by the missiles and drones. Reportedly, President Biden advised Netanyahu to "be satisfied with the victory and not to respond."
