An Israeli retaliatory strike initially proposed by the Israeli war cabinet members, has been called off following a phone call between Netanyahu and Biden.
Israel took the decision to carry out a retaliatory attack on Iran early Sunday morning, but that plan has been canceled after a phone call between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden, The New York Times reported, citing US officials.
President Biden’s administration advised Israel to exercise caution and avoid further escalation in the Middle East following its successful defense against the previous night’s Iranian missiles attack.
According to the Jerusalem Post, US officials considered “Israel’s interception of more than 300 drones and missiles as a significant strategic victory that may not necessitate further retaliation”
