It has been 72 hours since Tehran’s retaliatory attack on the Jewish state, but it is still unclear how, when and where Israel will respond.
Less than 72 hours after Iran’s retaliatory attack on Israel, in which more than 300 missiles and rockets were launched without causing any deaths, it is still unclear how the prime minister will respond, Benjamin Netanyahuwhich is already facing a war with no foreseen end in the Gaza Strip.
“Israel will act with strategic intelligence and respond in the place, time and manner it chooses,” said War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz today, who has not doubted the need for a response: “Iran is a global and regional problem, and also a threat to Israel. Therefore, the world should act militarily against it and impose sanctions.”
However, according to analysts, the Israeli response it might not be a direct attack against Iran, but against some of its satellite allies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq or Yemen.
He King Abdullah II of Jordan assured this Tuesday that his country “it will not be a battlefield” between Israel and Iran, since any direct attack between Israel and Iran will necessarily have to cross Jordanian or Syrian airspace.
For her part, the German Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbockwill travel to Israel tonight to express Germany’s “full solidarity” after the Iranian attack, as reported in a joint press conference with his Jordanian counterpart, Ayman Safadi, in which he reiterated that the important thing now is to stop Iran “without encouraging a new escalation.”
