[000:00:00;00] the, this is dw, use live from berlin, the world waits for israel's response to the attack by iran. israel says the conflict is not over. prime minister netanyahu meets with his work cabinet the ron calls, the wave of me solves and drones, measured, unjustified under us, says $81.00, joined any retaliation full. so coming up to ahead of the united nations warrens against a deeper to send into complex antonio could tether,

says not that the region nor the world can afford further escalation between or run and under is around the i'm probably as welcome to the program a day after repenting hundreds of me 1000 drones fired by a run, israel is waiting its response and says, the conflict is not over. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has met with his war cabinet, and observers said, ministers favor retaliating, but are divided over when and have to strike back around, launched more than 300 weapons, but nearly all were shocked down by israel. the us u. k. and george were leaders are urging restraint on all sides. us president joe biden has told nothing. yeah. who washington will not participate in any military retaliation to ron says it's

a sold was measured and justified in response to an earlier attack on its consulate in damascus. flashes in the sky over jerusalem and dying to mean action. busy this voltage shows the interception dismissals and drones launched by iran after the 1st ever direct to military attack on israel from a rainy and territory concern is growing over a possible so the escalation is really war cabinet meant. but then he can made a defiant statement that did little to allay those fears. yeah. yeah. style, i was it only this incident is not over. we will build a regional co edition and collect the price from a run in a way. and at the time that suits us, even though us president joe biden reaffirmed what he called americas i and collab commitment to the security of israel. but the white house added by didn't had told nothing yahoo that the us would not participate in any is ray. the counter

offensive against the run into run pro government iranians took to the streets to celebrate the wave of strikes against israel. the lead revolution re god, says the overnight to so was a response to a deadly strike on the rainy an embassy compound in syria. earlier this month, which killed several of its most senior commanders, iran's mission to the united nations wrote on social media that its attack on israel can be deemed concluded. the uranium foreign minister made the statement after the attack that seemed to be aimed at giving assurance that to iran was not looking to escalate the conflict to the we notified our brothers in the region where the united states has made a treat bases in the countries but our goal is only to punish these rain the regime and that we are not seeking to target the american vacancies in the region.

but as israel says, it's confrontation with a round is not over. that may do little to comm fee is of a full scale region. oh, well, let's go to jerusalem. now we're doing a new correspondence and is us standing by for us? i mean good. see. so what has come out of the, is there any war cabinet meeting as well? not much of anything that answers the questions that are on the minds of most israelis right now and the world at large for that matter. there has been no publicized decision about how exactly is real is going to respond to this or rainy and response. of course, this was a reprisal for the it was really attack the attack that they did not claim on the damascus consulate in syria is where if they run generals were killed. that's important context for this. but israel's trying to decide, in a reprise and now and we didn't get any answers out of that cabinet meeting,

what we did get was a statement from ben against that said that israel was going to retaliate, but it was going to do it on its own terms and on its own timeframe, and it was going to do it with an international coalition. now what's interesting here is that a columnist of well respected columnist in israel said, according to sources. if that meeting had been publicized, if it brought been broadcast on youtube, you would have had 4000000 is really is headed for vendor in airports and tel aviv to head out of the country. so that's gives you an idea of the, the kind of reprisals that were being debated there, but it seems for now cooler heads have prevailed. all right, but do we have any idea in what codes that retaliation look like then as well, it could be anything on a spectrum from a massive attack to knock out uh, it ran in a nuclear weapons or butting nuclear facilities. it could also be something small,

it could be another assassination or an attack on bringing proxies. of course, the far right here, and there is a very far right in the government is real. i have been give you a been to view or excuse me, from the far right party is, has been calling for israel to go berserk. ah, so it gives you an idea of what he wants to see happen. but of course the war cabinet contains not only look, look crude, which is right wing. that's nothing. yeah. whose party, but also centrist. uh, so it seems that there's still a debate there and we don't know which side of the spectrum this reprisal is going to fall on over. the said there will be something is this rather likely to heat calls for restraint from the us and others? it seems that they already have a 24 hour period that was closely watched as close now. and it seems that after phone call between nets and yahoo and us president joe biden,

instead of retaliating immediately what is real did was call a you, you went security conference meeting to gather the international community around. it seems that there's thinking international legitimacy for whatever they do next. so that is a form of restraint on of the president. i like hertzog also said we are acting restrained. we know what the consequences are, but of course when they say that they are going to retaliate, that puts a lot of people on high alert. because the ron said, if there is any retaliation for this fatality ation, and other words iran wanted it to be over. now, if there's any kind of retaliation, then they would strike back even harder with more missiles, more ballistic missiles, more drones, and maybe even damage israel in a way that it hadn't been able to do. and this last attack 10 times on in the don't you, correspondent, i mean, each of injuries and force thanks will leaders of the g 7 nations have condemned to runs attack on israel in

a video meeting caused by president biden. they also urged around to exercise restraint. the g 7 says it will work to prevent an uncontrollable regional escalation and will seek an immediate and lasting sees fire in gaza. un secretary general antonio batavia she has worn to the international community against descending deeper into conflict. speaking at an emergency session of the un security cancel, he said the region cannot afford a wider war. it's time to step back from the building. it's vital to avoid any action that could lead to measure the military confrontations on multiple fronts. in the middle east, cecilia is that already bedding the brands and paying the highest price. and we have a share the responsibility to actively engage all parties concerned to prevent further

escalation. that's got some analysis now alex for tanka is director of the around program at the middle east institute in washington dc. welcome to dw and hughes. so was this an attack? was this attack, excuse me, a strategic success for around as well? yes, in a way i know yes, in the sense that they came out after the 1st of april, stripe by israel under damascus. and said they would have to retaliate in time. meaning because they considered the embassy compound of damascus to be rainy and soil. they said they would have to strike israel on its soil and that's basically what they have tried to do here. although as you heard in the reports that about 99 percent of all those miss 1000 rooms were intercepted. i

do have to point out that yes, in terms of iran doing this for the 1st time, they have started a new chapter in this and the t would is real. but i have to also, as an analyst, believe that the way you run carry this operation suggest to me that they didn't really want this to escalate any further. this is what they're saying publicly, but their actions before and also showed that was the case. i mean, in any military operation, you don't give days of advice warning. you don't send us more slow moving drones that give you rather me plenty of time to prepare. so they wanted to make a point. they wanted to stripe israel, but they want to make sure the damage was such that didn't the sincerely necessitate and is ready retaliation and kind of a ranch hold right now. clearly is that this is the end of this route and they want to move on. all right, you set it there, but the rainy and foreign minister headset, the attack was aimed only at israel and not at the u. s. so what does that tell us

as well? it just tells us that you have is basically pretty uh, you know, of back positioning that way because it has to mediate in a, in a conflict between an ally israel and an opponent called around that doesn't really want to even talk to the united states directly but nonetheless, both around in the united states, as, as, as bizarre as it sounds have one thing in common, not just side wants to get into a regional conflict. and both sides recognize the simple fact that iran is real conflict will not be limited to you, right? in israel and in the united states very well will be forced to inter conflict, which is again, we've heard it over the weekend by administration, clearly clearly is not interested and it's doing everything. we can to prevent that that with us attack, global attention has turned away from the war in guys. so how's this health, israel do you think? you know, you could,

you could say that that might turn out to be the case, not, not in the short term. we've heard his radio officials talking about what is the right did to them this we can as providing israel with what it is really, leaders are calling strategic leverage and the building of a new international regional college and against a right. now if you do that and if you're successful in doing that, then absolutely. this will be a win 44 as well in the long term. but it's not going to help them in the short term, and they're in their operations in gaza and the regional and international law position the face and the way they've carried themselves so far. uh, so there you have it. okay, but could arouse attack on his route at reshape alliances or power at all in the region or i'm not into short term look, i think for example, let me give you one concrete example. if this is rainy and attack is for example,

seen by israel to re energize the moon, say in the gulf states, countries like saudi arabia, to look at normalizing relations with israel to sort of go back to where did what before the guys are crisis, then i think is way too premature to assume that our company, the opinion, is still very much upset about what's going on in gaza. that doesn't mean that likes the reading approach to his role at all. in fact, we've seen our countries very silent in some cases in the case of jordan, actively participating against is it raining operation? this is actually a separate point, but a very fundamental point. i do wonder if you're bringing leaders now to around need to take a moment and think about what it is they're seeking to do with israel. because their image it towards israel is an ideological mission that are on your right is not an arab country. house thing doesn't need to be in the range of costs and the world doesn't want any right to take the leadership of this. all these are tough questions, the writing leaders have to answer particular given that uranium public opinion is very much opposed to what

a ride is doing in the region and its position on israel. all right, we don't have a whole lot of time, but briefly zip code, what do you expect to see happening next? i think we've heard so far from these really is clearly as the united states is telling them right now, you can call it a when you can call it a major spectacular military success and call it a day and move on. we'll come back to you around what we need to time to figure it out. it's not something we will do in days, weeks. it's a major project. and for that reason i think the americans were prevailed. these ladies to not do this on their own, really in a successful way. so they have to wait for that american preparedness to come to their aid and do whatever it is that needs to be done in the long term down the road. but it won't happen in the short term. ok. thanks alex alex with tank of from the middle east institute in washington dc. all right, you're up to date coming up next to
