Bennett urges Israel to ‘act powerfully and effectively’ against Iranian attack

Together party chairman Naftali Bennett says that Israel must launch a powerful and effective response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack this evening, warning against trying to contain the escalation or launching a symbolic strike.

“This is the moment of truth: Is Israel a sovereign state that can defend itself? Containment or a symbolic response would signal to our enemies that the spilling of our citizens’ blood is permissible; therefore, Israel needs to act powerfully and effectively,” the former prime minister and rival to Netanyahu writes on X.
