Jerusalem: Israel has not yet taken any military action after the missile and drone attacks by Iran. At first glance it seems that Israel is peaceful but the question is for how long. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the appeal from close allies for restraint, saying that his country will decide how to respond to the attacks by Iran. Israel pledged to respond to Iran’s attacks but did not clarify when and how it would respond.
‘Will take his own decisions’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in his cabinet meeting on Wednesday, “I want to make it clear, we will take our own decisions.” Israel will do whatever is necessary to defend itself.” The point to be seen is that Israel’s allies are urging it to stay away from any reaction that could further escalate the conflict.
Middle East at the brink of war
Netanyahu’s comments came after a meeting with the foreign ministers of Britain and Germany on Wednesday. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock had reached Israel. Both the leaders have met with PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Germany and Britain have appealed to Israel to exercise restraint and said that any hostility with Iran could plunge the Middle East into war.
How did it all start?
It is noteworthy that in October last year, Hamas fighters ruling the Gaza Strip had attacked Israel, killing about 1200 people and taking many hostage. In response, Israel started a military operation which is still ongoing. After the attacks on Israel by Iran, the situation is now worsening and there is a possibility of war taking a serious form.
