Two leaders will reportedly discuss Israel’s response to Tehran’s unprecedented missile attack last week
are scheduled to speak on Wednesday, a call believed to be crucial amid expectations of an Israeli attack on Iran and a growing escalation of the year-old Middle East conflict.
There still appear to be disagreements within Israel’s security cabinet over an appropriate response to Iran’s firing of 180 ballistic missiles, an attack that was mostly intercepted by air defence systems but killed one person in the occupied West Bank and hit some Israeli military sites. Israel’s response this time is expected to be more severe, but its timing remains unclear. Axios reported that the Israeli defence minister, Yoav Gallant, postponed a scheduled visit to Washington on Wednesday at Netanyahu’s insistence. The prime minister first wanted the attack plans voted on by the cabinet and to speak to Biden himself before Gallant holds discussions with Pentagon officials, the report said.
