Netanyahu: Israel ready to 'retaliate'

Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel is preparing for challenges beyond Gaza and is ready to "retaliate" if attacked.

"We are facing many challenges. The all-out war in Gaza continues. We are working tirelessly to rescue the hostages, but at the same time we are prepared for challenges from other fronts," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today at an air force F-15 base.

"Whoever attacks us, we will respond to them," Netanyahu said. "We are ready to carry out our responsibility for Israel's security, both defensively and offensively."

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on April 10 that Israel "must be punished." Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on the same day that Tel Aviv would respond if Iran attacked the country from its territory.

Experts say Iran could respond to the embassy attack in Syria by targeting Israeli facilities abroad or calling on its proxies to launch attacks. US sources said on April 10 that Iran could "respond to Israel in the next 24-48 hours."

Russia today called on Middle Eastern countries to exercise restraint and avoid making the situation in the region unstable and unpredictable. The Russian Foreign Ministry advised its citizens to avoid traveling to the Middle East, especially Israel, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock had a phone call with her Iranian counterpart on the same day about the "tense situation in the Middle East". "We call on all parties to act responsibly and exercise maximum restraint," the German Foreign Ministry wrote on X.
