Alon Liel, the former director of Israel’s foreign ministry, says the situation will calm down over the next 24 hours after Iran’s attack and the government will refocus on its planned attack of Gaza’s Rafah.

“We already know the war cabinet has not approved a response and the Americans had a big share in it, so it looks as if Israel won’t respond for a while and we’ll go back to our business in Gaza,” Liel told Al Jazeera.

He noted Prime Minister Netanyahu still needs to resolve two things in Gaza: the release of captives and the “Hamas battalions”.

“I think Netanyahu might use this wave of support for Israel during the Iranian attack to go down to Rafah. But he cannot do it without fully coordinating with the Americans. This is the issue that is really bothering him, because without going back to Rafah he cannot describe the war as a victory.”
