He received military support from Democrats in the United States, who were not opposed to intervention by that country and the United Kingdom. Also, there was unity on the part of Germany and France, which cemented the alliances. Israel They are still the same.
Now, if Benjamin Netanyahu were less impulsive, he should not respond with retaliation, but rather, be more cautious. The crisis has created very interesting assets to exploit in the future.
