the, the business dw news light from ballad, the well, the weights, israel's response to an unprecedented attack from the wrong prime minister benjamin netanyahu meets with his wall cabinet without indicating whether israel will retaliate something, something the us says it will not john. and despite the sending hundreds of drones and miss us was at school and i left me a wrong coast of virus measures in justified fleet. as of the g 7 companies come then iran to talk with both restraints joining the groups video

meeting from china. germany's chops the show, it says it was an justifiable, and that he'll do everything to avoid a further escalation. plus, you're on direct attack is unprecedented. we'll take a closer look at the recent escalation of the islamic republics long of style relationship with is the guy that is welcome to the program. that's the day off the republican, an unprecedented ariel of souls by iran. israel is waiting its response. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is met with the countries war cabinets in the wake of an oven, eyebrows of more than $300.00 drones cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, nearly over, intercepted by israel, the us and of the nations. israel allows the glad it's due fence a success,

but it's official say the confrontation is far from over. well, he does have a restraint with us president joe biden telling us in yahoo that washington will not participate in any military retaliation against wrong tave on, says the sold was itself until the ation for an attack on its embassy in damascus. that kills 2 top ranking generals flashes in the sky over jerusalem and dian domain action. this voltage shows the intersection of messiahs and drones launched by iran. after the 1st ever direct to military attack on israel from a rainy and territory, concern is growing over a possible said, the escalation is really war cabinet man bub. and he can made a defiant statement that did the little to allay those fears. yeah. yeah. style i was it only this incident is not over. we will build a regional co edition and collect the prize from a run in

a way and at the time that suits us and who even though you as president joe biden reaffirmed what he called americas. i am the cloud commitment to the security of israel, but the white house added by didn't had told nothing yahoo that the us would not participate in any is re the counter offensive against the run into run pro government. iranians took to the streets to celebrate the wave of strikes against israel. the lead revolution re god, says the overnight to so was a response to a deadlier strike on the rainy an embassy compound in syria earlier this month, which killed several of its most senior commanders. iran submission to the united nations wrote on social media that it's attack on israel can be deemed concluded. the uranium for administer made a statement after the attack that seemed to be aimed at giving assurance that tyrone was not looking to escalate the conflict. and we notified our brothers in the region where the united states has made

a treat bases in the countries. but our goal is only to punish these rain the regime. and that we are not seeking to target the american vacancies in the region . but as israel says, it's the confrontation with a round is not over. that may do little to comm fee is of a full scale regional leaders of the g. 7 nations have condemned to ron's attack on israel during a meeting convened by us presidential by and following that video conference. they said they would take measures to prevent and uncontrollable regional escalation in the middle. east. leaders also called on a ron to exercise restraint. the groups statement pledge to work towards an immediate and sustainable seas fight and gaza as well. the foreign ministers from the 7 leading industrial democracies are due to meet on wednesday on the tele, in the island of capri study, w,

support and washington stuff and siemens explained to us what the us is doing to prevent further escalation. well, it's operating on 2 prong c and this is one you just mentioned that was this g 7, the meeting, the secure video link, president biden talked to other g 7 leaders and tried to firm up their commitment. and they usually some commitment a and this point of view and stand against iran sections from yesterday. a guess israel, the president reiterated again that the un support to israel in a defensive manner is iron clad that the u. s. will stand by israel if it has to defend itself. and i think it's fair to assume that the, the same kind of message is expected to be a broadcasted by those 27 leaders in one way or another in one form or another towards iran, to woods all parties in the. busy in the middle east,

and let's not forget that the us was, of course, always trying to or in the last few weeks, specifically trying to really be open about uh, their intelligence that they know iran is cooking something up and that everybody's expecting you around to retaliate for the attack is rarely a tech on a general consulate in damascus. the ronnie john, comes on a damascus on april 1st. so i think the diplomacy, diplomatic pressure, a clear communication to iran, look, we, we know what you did. we see what you did. we hear you, but now stay away from anything else. now this works both ways. i think also the us is trying to make really, really, really sure that israel understands that the us is not, is not keen on, is really actions which could escalate this. what happened and this

situation into a really greater regional conflict stuff and the ones that are reporting from washington. now you're on the attack on israel and is prompted a spontaneous demonstration in berlin. on sunday, the group known as the german is rarely society called on people in germany's capital to rally at the central brenda book. guys where groups have demonstrated that gov, it's to show the solidarity with these valve. the group also included, right in opposition figures. i'm here to show my son, the deputy, but the same especially in the situation where the iranian threats, it's so obvious what i needed to show my support for research after this terrible text yesterday. and we all know that the iran is behind so much to have arisen in the light of yesterday. i had to come to to, yeah, to,

to show that i send for you. so while it runs overnight attack against israel was the 1st of its kind animosity between the 2 nations goes back decades about the october 7th. so attack against israel were led by iran, l. i. how moss that escalated those tensions from the shuttle wall to direct attacks from both sides to october 7th, better attacks on his right ship, the entire country to score from us, widely perceived to have the backing of it on claim to responsibility. it on distance itself from the worst that was just attacked on it's arch enemy. but it priest attackers because we defend the palestine was mobile, it is a default. we defend the struggles who yet we kissed the hands of those intelligent and brave palestinian youth who planned the attack on the zionist

regime. a mob, we are proud of them as the us quick duty acted and warned 8 on to exercise caution for surgery. additional military assistance to these really is offensive course, including ammunition, interceptors replenish and drama. we move us carefully to the eastern mediterranean or send a more or fighter church there and i've region and made it clear. and you clear to be a radiance. be careful it on going back to milly. she has an eoc and video has put a lot in loveland on and who theater both in human continued to launch attacks. docketed is dryly and us installations on forces in the region. this is a battle against the uranium access to any and access of terror which is now threatening to close the maritime straight above the monday. the strengthens the freedom of

navigation of the entire world. pensions escalated for to the western world, picking more than one of the us and britain george doesn't sophia strikes against it on back to look it up as in yemen. after months of attacks on greg, the shipping is right also stepped up. it's a thoughts on it. on the internet for new study goc members and on it on, in proxies in that each and that fact that a tax continued and number at least. but the a problem inside strike on it on investing in damascus that killed it on in ginger's, was seen as a major blow to eat on. some thing that it onset later to directly attack is dry from instead of 3. since october 7th it's right, is believed to have it's estimated at least 18 it on income on this outside it on board this after it's, it's not because i pollution in 1979. it ons previous defend the relationship with

his side. dramatically changed. it's crap. it's recognition of fits right, claiming to jump in the palestinian because the stomach of the gene became soul plus die to what this right. that is publicly stated. it wanted to bite is dry of them up a policy that mixed it on it strikes because a diversity on the current escalation shows, the shadow water eat on has been reaching with this. tried for us now tends to thrown into a fatty gee and a dangerous conflict. and we also have not been tally bu, a senior fellow at the foundation for the defense of democracies in washington. what do you find was trying to achieve with this attack? accidents, i think these public public was 1st and foremost trying to save face after the lots of several major important. i already see officials including to bring the jury generals and one chief of staff for the urgency in this area in the attack that

many believe was conducted by israel on april 1st. but perhaps more importantly, to get these rarely in the americans to understand that the comic public is now taking more risk than ever before. with this long range try capabilities. this is a historic 1st after all, directly launching drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles from the running territory directly ad is really territory. and then being able to kind of change the equation against these really is not willing to actually target is really territory. something to redeem has never done directly from its own territory. in the past 45 years even had higher g c officials just a day or so ago. i think this now, do you think this attack was a strategic success for you wrong? i think with the benefit of time and pending the nature of these rarely response, it will be seen as a political success. you know, as much as these, veronica public's unmanned aerial threats are involved in b. they drones, cruise missiles or ballistic missiles. ultimately,

the local public is still using military means to achieve political ed, for instance, and support for terrorism, and in particular it support from us and indeed support for the october 7 terrorist attack was designed to kind of foster a divide between the uniting sides of this on the, our block and israel, in the pro american or at least here, i think, a strategic success. not so much militarily trying to flex and was about not being willing to take more risk because it signals a greater confidence at home perhaps. but i think a lot more of this is about politics. now the rang and foreign ministers set. the attack was aimed only at israel and no set the u. s. what does that tell us? for, for some time now, the runners had been trying to divide israel from its greatest partner united states. and in general, they run up to the week and a half of the threats that the world was essentially glued to before this iranian

drone and missile operation. the wrong hands had seen the gap that had formed between israel and america begin to slowly diminish, particularly at the, at engaged in defense coordination at high level defense times. and president by didn't even mentioned that americans commitment to israel security was, i would say now again, the ones want to be able to say that the america is not involved and of america does get involved, that it would be targeted or that it would be held accountable, and in this sense, it's trying to play up to some american isolationist sentiments, but also at the same time trying to again foster a gap between israel and america and get americans to kind of habits desire for de escalation. d. conflictions went out over israel's desire for determines now. thank you very much, ben. i'm ben tyler bowes, senior fellow from the foundation for the defense of democracies in washington, dc. thank you. and that's it from me and the new steam for
