The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahuinsisted this Wednesday that «“There is only one force in the world that is fighting Iran.”referring to the Hebrew State, which is still preparing its retaliation against the Islamic Republic for the attack it launched on October 1 against its territory.
In a meeting with a delegation from the conference of presidents of the main Jewish organizations in the United States, Netanyahu reiterated the idea that Israel is waging “the war of the free world”, as it has been doing in recent days to also justify its offensive (air and land) in Lebanon.
“We hinder their conquest of the Middle East,” said the head of government, who defends that Israel is a kind of retaining wall between Iran and the West. “They want to enslave the world and return us to the Middle Ages.”
These statements come in full escalation of tensions between Israel and the Islamic Republic, after it attacked the Jewish State with nearly 200 ballistic missiles on October 1, in an operation that left one dead in the Palestinian territory of the West Bank – a man on whom the remains of the interception of one of the projectiles fell.
Iran was thus responding to the recent death of the leader of the Shiite group Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hasan Nasrallah, due to an Israeli bombing against Beirut, as well as that of the former leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, in an attack in Tehran that Israel never claimed responsibility for. denied.
This afternoon, Netanyahu is expected to have a phone call with US President Joe Biden to discuss Israel’s imminent attack on the Islamic republic.
Israeli media claim that the Israeli Prime Minister postponed the trip of his Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, to the United States until this call has taken place.
Biden’s role in it would be to try to moderate the Israeli response by avoiding an attack on Iranian oil refineries or nuclear facilities, although communication between the US and Israel has suffered since the Jewish State began its campaign of bombings in Lebanon.
Since Hezbollah and Israel began a daily exchange of fire on October 8 last year, when the pro-Iran group stood in solidarity with the Gazan population, some 2,100 people have lost their lives in Lebanon, most in the last two weeks. EFE
