Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz canceled their participation in a military ceremony Wednesday evening and were set to hold a security discussion as Israel monitored renewed confrontation between the United States and Iran, Ynet reported Wednesday.
The move came after strikes in the Persian Gulf and sharper rhetoric from US President Donald Trump, who said he viewed the ceasefire with Iran as effectively over and warned of possible new strikes on Iran.
Israeli officials said they did not expect a full-scale war for now, arguing that economic pressure remained the main lever against Tehran. The meeting had been scheduled to focus on Israel’s memorandum of understanding with the United States but was also expected to address Iran.
