Israel’s war cabinet has been locked in discussions inside the Kirya, or “The Campus”, over how to respond to the Iran attacks.
Talks are thought to be focused on the timing and scale of Israel’s response. An immediate response was reportedly called off after pressure from Joe Biden. There’s also the question of whether Israel will be forced to act alone, as the US – its staunchest ally – has said it will not support a direct attack on Iran.
Analysts believe Israel will be weighing up whether to respond according to Iran’s intent or impact – after its attack – which largely failed to hit any targets.
