The Israeli government wants to carefully consider its actions after the major Iranian attack. Foreign Minister Israel Katz said this on Sunday. The concrete response will be discussed under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“We said: if Iran attacks Israel, we will attack in Iran. And this promise still stands,” said Israeli Foreign Minister Katz. He trusts that the right and right decisions will be made. According to Israeli media, the war cabinet will meet at 2:30 PM (CEST). Katz was expected to meet Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg and Chancellor Karl Nehammer (both ÖVP) in Austria on Tuesday, but has now postponed the visit.
The Chief of the General Staff assesses the situation
Defense Minister Yoav Galant said Friday that a direct attack by Iran “would require an appropriate Israeli response against Iran.” Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi is assessing the situation in the air force operations center, the army announced that evening.
The Iranian leadership under Ebrahim Raisi once again spoke of a “lesson.” “The punishment of the aggressor, which was the sincere promise of the mighty and wise leader of the Islamic Revolution, has been fulfilled. We advise supporters of the occupation regime to appreciate this responsible and proportionate action by the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Raisi said on Sunday.
Hamas: “deserved response”
The attack on Israel is apparently “appreciated” by the terrorist organization Hamas. “We in Hamas consider the military action of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a natural right and a deserved response to the crime in the Iranian consulate in Damascus and to the assassination of several Revolutionary Guard leaders,” the report said.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also referred to the right to self-defense in the UN Charter. At the same time, all parties were called upon to exercise restraint. “Irresponsible provocative actions” would further exacerbate conflicts. The Russian government is a close ally of Iran and also sources weapons from there for the war against Ukraine.
