A meeting of Israel’s war cabinet ended without a decision on a response to the Iranian attack, an official said
An hours-long war cabinet meeting ended Sunday night without a decision on how Israel would respond to the Iranian attack, an Israeli official said.
The Cabinet is determined to respond – but has yet to decide on timing and scope.
The official said the Israeli military had been tasked with coming up with additional options for response.
Separately, a senior Biden administration official told reporters that an Israeli official had told the United States that it did not want to significantly escalate the confrontation with Iran.
“I think Israel made it clear to us that they are not looking for a significant escalation with Iran. That’s not what they’re looking for. They are looking to protect themselves and defend themselves,” said a senior administration official.
Israel’s war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said earlier Sunday that Israel will “the right price from Iran in a way and time that suits us.”
