Israel hesitant to respond to Iran attack – media

Israel is trying to see if, in exchange for restraint, it can get some kind of “strategic agreement” from the US against Iran, without having to commit itself to the Palestinian issue.

After several hours of discussion, Israel’s military cabinet has not decided how and when to respond to a massive Iranian missile and drone attack that took place on Sunday night, reports The Times of Israel, citing Israeli media.

According to Channel 12 News, the ministers suspended discussions without making a decision, although they are expected to meet again in the near future.

According to multiple Hebrew media reports, War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz and his National Unity Party counterpart Gadi Eizenkot, a War Cabinet observer, have proposed retaliation against Iran.

The proposal was strongly opposed by Defense Minister Yoav Galant, IDF chief Hertz Halevi and others, due to the difficulty of acting simultaneously when the IDF is focused on intercepting Iranian missiles and drones, Channel 12 News reported.

Subsequently, when the success of the Israeli air defense system became apparent and it became clear that the Iranian offensive caused little damage, as well as after the conversation between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the idea of ​​an immediate Israeli response was rejected, Channel 12 and 13 reported

Netanyahu’s own position on discussions about the timing and nature of the Israeli response is unclear.

The Channel 12 report, which was unsourced, claimed that the US did not attempt to veto any Israeli response, but told Israel that it should know in advance and coordinate its response to any such response. The US has made it clear publicly that it will not participate in any Israeli retaliation.

Channel 12 also says Israel is trying to see if, in exchange for restraint, it can get some kind of “strategic agreement” from the US against Iran, without having to commit to the Palestinian issue.

Let’s remember that on the night of April 14, Iran massively attacked Israel with drones and missiles.

The Israel Defense Forces reported that Iran and pro-Iranian forces in the region fired on more than 300 air targets in Israel during the April 13-14 attack, of which about 170 were attack drones, more than 30 were cruise missiles and 120 were ballistic, almost all were shot down. .
