Israel-Iran Tensions Prompt Global Calls for Restraint

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.

Iran urged to limit retaliation against Israel

Russian President Putin has reportedly urged Iran to avoid causing civilian casualties in any retaliation against Israel following the assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr. Russian Defense Minister Shoigu has warned that Iran's response could escalate tensions. Hezbollah leader Nasrallah vows retaliation and aims to keep Israel on edge, with the possibility of coordination among Hezbollah, Iran, Hamas, and Houthis. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is set to condemn the killings, but Arab states remain cautious. Iran supports a referendum, while Arab states support a two-state solution. Iran is also working to improve relations with Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. The Arab world's hesitancy towards military action against Israel is deeply rooted in the traumatic defeats of the 1967 and 1973 wars. The US is working to de-escalate the conflict, with Secretary of State Blinken engaged in efforts around the clock. Israel declares readiness for both attack and defense. Israeli raids in the West Bank have resulted in the deaths of 12 Palestinians, and Lebanon's foreign minister seeks to prevent total war.
