Tel Aviv, Israel CNN —Israel’s war cabinet has been engaged in a heated debate about how and when to respond to Iran’s weekend attack on their country, two Israeli officials familiar with the deliberations tell CNN.
In addition to a potential military response, the war cabinet is also mulling diplomatic options to further isolate Iran on the world stage.
Benny Gantz, a key member of the war cabinet, has pushed for a swifter response to Iran’s attack, two Israeli officials said.
But Israeli officials recognize that will be a difficult needle to thread, hence the ongoing debate.
An hours-long war cabinet meeting on Sunday ended without a decision on how Israel will respond to Iran’s attack, an Israeli official said.
