Israel mulls next move after direct strikes by Iran: Does it stop here?

THE DEBATE © FRANCE 24

Did it finish with Saturday night, or will it spiral further out of control? Iran's first-ever direct attack against Israel has already sent the whole region into uncharted territory. We ask about the measure of its response to Israel's targeting of Tehran's embassy compound in Syria. We also ask whether the proportionality shows Iran's strength or weakness, and whether Israel's prime minister will heed the call of G7 allies to leave it there and move towards an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Israelis say the common challenge posed by Iran offers an opportunity to shore up strained ties with an Arab world that's frozen all rapprochement since the war in Gaza. The problem is that the ball's in the court of a Benjamin Netanyahu whose political survival – for now – hinges on a long war. 

Produced by Andrew Hilliar, Guillaume Gougeon and Imen Mellaz.
