Israel told its Western allies it is expecting them to attack Iran if the Jewish state is hit with retaliatory strikes for assassinating Hamas’s leader in Tehran.


From AFP, “Israel FM says expects allies to attack Iran if it strikes”:


Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said Friday his country expected support from foreign allies “in attacking” Iran if it strikes Israel, comments deemed “inappropriate” by France’s visiting top diplomat.

Iran and its regional allies have vowed retaliation for high-profile killings late last month blamed on Israel, including an attack in Tehran that killed Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, which Israel has not claimed responsibility for.


“If Iran attacks, we expect the coalition to join Israel not only in defence but also in attacking significant targets in Iran,” Katz told his counterparts, France’s Stephane Sejourne and Britain’s David Lammy, according to a statement from the Israeli foreign minister’s office.


[…] Israel said US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin reiterated that Washington was ready to “defend Israel”.


What happened to all that talk about how “Israel can defend herself?”
