Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office stated that while Israel will listen to the United States, its final decisions regarding a potential strike against Iran will be based on its national interests. This comes amidst heightened tensions following a recent Iranian missile attack on Israel and expectations of an Israeli retaliatory strike.
Israel will listen to the United States but will decide its actions according to its own national interest, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ’s office said in a statement on Tuesday.
The statement came amid expectations that Israel will strike in retaliation for Iran’s missile attack on Israel on October 1. That attack followed rapidly spiraling conflict between Israel and Hezbollah group in Lebanon. The retaliatory action would be calibrated to avoid the perception of “political interference in the US elections,” the Washington Post quoted one official as saying.
