On the evening of April 14 local time, Israel’s war cabinet, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and opposition leader Benny Gantz, met with senior security officials to discuss the issue.
This meeting is considered an event that can determine the future of the Middle East, because any decision made by the Israeli war cabinet can mark an important turning point in a region that has never been peaceful.

However, the Israeli Prime Minister’s office denied this report, saying `the opposite is true`, although Channel 12 still confirmed that this information was true and was confirmed by four sources.
After Israel’s air defense system worked effectively and Iran’s fierce attack did not cause much damage and after a phone call with President Biden, the idea of `immediately responding to Iran` was dismissed.
In a separate report, Channel 12 said the US would not veto any moves by Israel to retaliate against Iran but required Tel Aviv to notify Washington in advance if it wanted to do this.
According to Channel 12, Israel may be trying to determine whether it is possible to reach some kind of `strategic pact` with the United States against Iran, in return for its restraint.
