Britain’s foreign secretary David Cameron acknowledged during a visit to Israel that an Israeli reprisal seemed inevitable.
Already a subscriber?European diplomats travelled to Israel on Wednesday to make one more plea for restraint in response to the aerial attack that Iran launched this weekend, but Britain’s foreign secretary acknowledged that an Israeli reprisal seemed inevitable.
But Netanyahu, after meeting with Cameron and Germany’s foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, said that Israel would “do everything necessary to defend itself.” “Israel will respond when it sees fit,” an Israeli official said, adding that it had “multiple ways” to do so. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss military strategy.
Cameron said that the Group of Seven, which includes the United States as well as Britain and Germany, should work together to punish Iran with sanctions. But some Palestinians said the bakeries were not making enough bread to meet the overwhelming demand. As Israel battles Hamas, it was struck again Wednesday by another Iranian-backed group, the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, which claimed responsibility for a drone and missile attack on northern Israel.
