Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Arab and Western nations are urging Iran to show restraint following threats of retaliation for recent killings. Israel's Ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, warns of an imminent Iranian attack on Israel, citing the April attack in which Iran fired 300 rockets.

Prosor emphasizes that Israel must defend itself like any democratic country. He further highlights that the Iran's motive to attack Israel is rooted in its state policy of terrorism, not only towards Israel but also within its own borders and neighboring countries.

The Israeli diplomat addresses criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, emphasizing the distinction between cause and effect. Prosor asserts that peace is not possible until Hamas releases hostages and ceases firing at Israel.

As tensions continue to simmer, diplomatic efforts are underway to deescalate the situation, with the US urging both Iran and Israel to avoid further conflict. Meanwhile, the appointment of Yahya Sinwar as Hamas' new political leader raises questions about the future direction of the organization.
