Netanyahu plays a risky game in the Middle East - Media.
Netanyahu under pressure before striking Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under considerable pressure as he prepares the promised response to Iran's attack. His strategy of 'escalation dominance' receives support from Israel's military leadership and parts of liberal Israel. He skillfully balances relations with Joe Biden, yet faces limitations from the American president and Western countries.
Recent key events include Iran's first direct strike on Israel, the assassination of a Hamas leader in Tehran, and an attack on Hezbollah. Following Iran's missile strike, Netanyahu is again under pressure and faces calls for decisive action.
However, President Biden has ruled out support for such strikes, and Western countries fear involvement in a new war. Now Netanyahu faces a difficult choice - to continue escalating or to seek ways to de-escalate the conflict.
