Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel's Minister of National Security, was accused of harming Israel's strategy against Tehran. His message, posted on the social network X, seems to attribute responsibility for the explosions that occurred this Friday morning in Iran to Israel.
Israel had promised retaliation for the unprecedented missile and drone attacks carried out by Iran against Israeli territory last weekend. By attacking Israel on April 13, Iran said it acted in "self-defense" after the strike, blamed on Israel, which destroyed its consulate in Damascus on April 1 and cost the lives of seven of its soldiers, including two high-ranking officers. "An absolute shame on the part of a minister," said Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, an academic and host of a geopolitics podcast. Tally Gotliv, MP for Likud, Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing party, welcomed the events, speaking on X.
