Raddatz: Netanyahu Will Be Under a Lot of Pressure Domestically to Retaliate for that Strike Aimed at Israel
EXCERPT:
RADDATZ: “That was a massive attack. It is so lucky and skilled that they were able to shoot down those drones, those missiles, more than 300. The U.S. early last night thought there might be 400 or 500 drones and missiles headed for Israel, so this is not over, as you say, George. And I do think you will likely see some sort of response from Israel. Because no one was injured, because there was no infrastructure damage, I believe it will probably just aim at military facilities in Iran, but Netanyahu will be under a lot of pressure domestically to retaliate for that strike aimed at Israel. It’s the first time that has happened, you know. We all watched Britt Clennett last night. That was a very scary situation, watching those missiles and drones over Jerusalem headed for a military facility, but over Jerusalem, and this is a country that has also been undergoing trauma since October 7th, of course. So I think you’re going to see a population that is worried about this. No one wants escalation, but I think Israel will likely respond.”
