Israel will exact a price from Iran in response to its mass missile and drone attack when the time is right, centrist war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said on Sunday, April 14.
“In the face of the Iranian threat, we will build a regional coalition and exact the price from Iran in the fashion and timing that is right for us,” Gantz said. “And most importantly, faced with the desire of our enemies to harm us, we will continue to unite and become stronger.”
His recorded statement was released as the Israeli war cabinet was due to convene to discuss Israel’s response to Iran’s attack.
The first direct attack on Israel by arch-foe Iran has shaken Israelis and left them fearful that a bigger war is looming.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has repeatedly told the world that Iran is an existential threat to the Jewish state, vowed Israel would achieve victory.
The threat of open warfare erupting between Iran and Israel and dragging the United States into the conflict has put the region on edge.
