Israel Puts Off Response After Iranian Attack Following Biden’s Interference, But Retaliation Still Likely
Recently, Iran launched a dangerous attack on Israel using drones and missiles. Normally, Israel doesn’t hesitate to defend itself. However, after the attack, President Biden got involved and urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold off on responding. Biden suggested that Israel should consider the successful defense against the attack a victory and not seek revenge against Iran. Some believe this was a misguided decision, as it goes against the principle of standing up to aggressors.

Even though Biden’s call may have postponed an immediate retaliatory strike from Israel, reports indicate that the Israeli government is still considering taking action in the future. The Biden administration advised Israel to be cautious and avoid escalating tensions in the volatile Middle East region. Despite the advice, many in Israel’s leadership feel that a response to Iran’s aggression is necessary to ensure the country’s security and deter future attacks.
The Israeli war cabinet, including top officials like Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, met to discuss potential responses to the Iranian attack. While there is ongoing debate within the cabinet about the timing and severity of the retaliation, the majority seems to support the idea of sending a clear message to Iran. Minister Benny Gantz emphasized the importance of holding Iran accountable for its actions.
In the coming days, the world will be watching closely to see how Israel chooses to respond to Iran’s aggression. Despite Biden’s attempt to influence the situation, it appears that Israel remains determined to defend itself and uphold its national security interests. It is crucial for the United States to stand by its allies and support their right to self-defense in the face of threats from hostile nations.
