the senate minority leader in the united states has now called on congress to convene and pass an aid package budget that would provide increased military funding and assistance to israel. it's difficult to see how something like that would pass both houses of the us congress if netanyahu openly defied what the american president was asking to do and escalated further. if netanyahu wants to rely on continued us assistance in the form of additional or supplemental aid packages, that he would be wise to heed whatjoe biden is telling him. we're getting lots of information and wires coming in, one report saying that the israeli defence minister said we've repelled the first major wave of iranian aerial attacks but the confrontation is not yet being over. would you expect any israeli action within the next few hours, or do you think you think it will be further in future whether they will be under pressure to pause before they take any further action? in the next few hours, we can expect israeli responses, in lebanon, yemen and syria. it is very unlikely given what president biden indicate
