Benyamin Netanyahu continues on his way and prepares a response to Iran's attack despite strong international pressure to the contrary, with the USA and the G7 banking on sanctions against Tehran.

But in the meantime the clash with Hezbollah is heating up on the northern border of Israel , which yesterday saw 18 Israelis injured in the Galilee: 4 civilians and 14 soldiers, 6 of them seriously. “I appreciate all kinds of suggestions and advice but I want to make it clear: we will make our own decisions and the State of Israel will do everything necessary to defend itself ,” clarified the prime minister after meeting British Foreign Minister David Cameron and his colleague German Annalena Baerbock, arrived in Jerusalem to ask to avoid an escalation in the region.

Advice that Natanyahu doesn't listen to, the decision is now made he suggests. And Defense Minister Yoav Gallant adds: «Iranian terrorism begins in Tehran but tries to reach Judea and Samaria (West Bank, ed.) to attack the citizens of Israel. Their blood-stained hands reach out, but we will cut them everywhere ."

And the statements coming from Tehran are certainly not encouraging: «Iran's retaliatory attack against Israel - warned President Ebrahim Raisi - was a limited and punitive action against the regime. If the Zionists take any action against our interests, Iran's response will be much harsher ." «We advise enemies not to make any strategic mistakes, because Iran is ready to strike them, especially with Sukhoi-24 fighters, the Russian supersonic tactical bombers », threatened the commander of Tehran's air forces Hamid Vahedi, fearing an aerial duel in the skies of the Middle East between Soviet-era jets and the deadly Israeli F35s and F16s.

According to the US, however, it is unlikely that Israel will attack before the end of Passover, which begins on April 22nd and ends on the 29th . A US source said this to the ABC broadcaster, adding that however "everything can always change".
