News tonight, the head of the United NationscainforMaxim Restraint as israel ways its response to an unprecedented attack by iran, the Israeli Defense forces says orawn launched some 350 rockets, missiles drones into it lets territory overnight, the vast majority of them shot down by israel and its partners. Before they could hit israeli territory. Tonight, the israeli war cabinet says, it is not yet reached a decision on the scale or timing of its response, but did it is determined to act with one cabinet Member Calling for israel to quote, exact a price on iran. President biden spoke with g7 leaders today hoping for a diplomatic path forward saying in a tweet just moments ago, we will continue to Work Together to stabilize the situation in the region and avoid further escalation. Students International Diplomatic editor Nic Robertson is in jerusalem. Nick, what do we know about israels current thinking in terms of a response youre hearing a lot of messages calling for restraint, including from the us president , from the un israel thinking in similar terms and the other end of the spectrum and the right cabinet of Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu, a calling for essentially the maximum deterrence possession. The go berserk possession, the smashed the crockery. Show on that. It cant get away with doing this, that israel, the reverse of what iran thinks its doing to israel at the moment. But bragg ravid cnn analysts who youre speaking to, outline some of the divisions end the war Cabinet Meeting around that table. Benny gantz, gadi eisen cut both it said the National Unity party, both former idf chiefs of staff, both in the early hours of knowing that iran had launched missiles towards israel last night wanted israel to strike back immediately before those impacts, before the intercepts that we saw over the skies here. Now, Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu spoken with President Biden, President Biden or following that phone call that where President Biden urged caution that was decided not to take that decision and respond immediately. But to delay play for a day and thinking about it. And today we hear that the war cabinet met for almost five hours, didnt reach a conclusion, has asked the idf to come up with options of how to strike back, but is now considering its position of the scale and scope and timing of that response. But as you said, it is clear, israel wants to have a response but perhaps try to broaden out and bringing, bring in a Stronger International coalition, build support for israel around this. And weve certainly heard that from you have glands that Defense Minister and weve heard it from benny gantz as well. Broaden the base of support, but not change its mind about going ahead with a response, jim we learned in the last hour that israel is going to open at schools again tomorrow. And i wonder if we could take any message from that. And certainly that would seem to indicate they dont perceive an immediate threat from iran. But that also telegraph that israel itself is not planning any immediate retaliatory strikes, which then they might presume would spark get another response from iran iran has said it was one and done and has said very clearly that if israel responds and it will respond with even more force than it showed last night. And the sense that we had earlier today that israeli decided to continue to keep the school shut seem to indicate hey, there although there was nothing in incoming to israel that perhaps israel had an intention to mount its own counter attack. But i think as you said, rightly say with the schools reopening, that does signal that however long its going to take for israel to decide what its gonna do when its going to do, how its going to do it, what its going to target, why its going to target, who will supported, who werent supported. That is not going to be in the next 24 hours and likely a little bit longer than that, jim Nic Robertson. Thanks so much joining us now is danny denon a member of israels parliament, the knesset, as well as the countrys former ambassador to the un. Thanks so much for joining us this evening. Thank you. For having the gene and of course, were staying up late for us given the time difference there, you released a statement earlier today writing in part, we will respond with clarity and determination standing tall and firm against any attempts to undermine our sovereignty and security does such a response in your view, should such a response include a direct Israeli Attack on iran, on iranian territory . Jim, what happened yesterday was unprecedented. More than 300 projects were launched into israel directly for my one i ran chose to do it directly to you. Theyre proxies like in the past leaves us no, no other option. We have to retaliate. We have to retaliate against taiwan. And we have to send a very clear message that we will not accept the new equation that i went you are trying to create in the region that they are the one who attackers and they are the ones who decide when to finish the conflict. Yeah, we have no desire for fullwar with a one. But at the same time, in our neighborhood, you have to punch bank when you get attacked. Yeah. Last night is well, was attacked. I will sovereignty was under danger thats why dont see any other option about returns. Such an should such an attack include attacks on Iranian Nuclear facilities well, i dont think we should go into details. I think we should think very carefully about the targets that we will choose with also, that yesterday i can say that they will actually target only military bases, but we saw attack on our capitol on joselyne im sure you showed the picture of the alaqsa mosque that was under threat of missiles. That likely for all of us, were intercepted by defense system. So we would think very carefully about the targets, but our methods is not to start a war with the one but to send a very clear message that no one can attack israel i think there was an attack against the us, or the uk or france, or any other Member States of the un that nation would have retaliated as well. Why we hear different voices coming from the un when we were under such aggressive attack class night. Well, speaking of messages, there is quite a clear message from the us president two israeli leaders saying that if israel were to strike around the us would not be involved. I wonder. Do you read that as the us president . Pressuring israel not to attack iran and given that, do you think israel should ignore the us president if it so chooses and go ahead and carry out such an attack. We have ongoing dialogue with our writing, the us, and we respect, and we are grateful for the support we receive from the us. When when you look at history, we have to do with good for israel. When Prime Minister begging attack the Nuclear Reactor in a whack didnt vegan condemn that attack . But when we look about it today, it where the right things to do. Same happened when Climate Olmert attack the reactor in theia. And president bush condemned the attack. So not always we see eyetoeye, but i think for the long run, we have the same interest and i think many, many elleithee, the us are very worried about what happened last night but it wasnt only attack against israel was attack. The lie of the us individually. And i think that we show a lot of strength in our defense system. The next stage is to show our strengths also on the offensive side what israel gaining exactly though, because as you know, iran says it was responding to a strike in damascus, which killed a number of its commanders. I know israel has not acknowledged responsibility for that, but that is the wide hit red spread view, including within the Us Government that, that was an israeli strikes. So even as israeli strike in damascus, you have an iranian strike in response and now you have israel saying its going to respond to send a message each attack be bigger than the previous attack. What, what would israel be achieving . By having a by shooting back in effect what would be the end gay i cannot tell you the end game with what will be the immediate resulted to build our deterrence . We cannot live in reality that i ran in sending Ballistic Missiles into our cities. And my children, my family and we just wait for the next time they will decide to do that we cannot live under that sweat, so were going to send a very clear message to the little of tehran that they should calculate the moves against israel and i hope that they will learn that less than we have no intention as i said earlier, to start a war with anyone. We want to finish the war against hamas. But at the same time when we see the way that i want is spreading a kelce in division with the proxies and yesterday, you know, jim, they chose to send those missiles directly, to send a message to eat violent to the us. They could have done it with proxies, but they chose to sell it for my one. Thats why i believe we have to retaliate an attack. Iran as well. The White House Position on this is that israel should look at this as a win. Take the win and effect, because and i am certainly not arguing for justifying the iranian attack here. Im saying that the defenses though worked and by the way, that was not just an Israeli Defense it was us partners, uk, as well as error partners who took theyre not advertising that participation, but they took part in this defense and that was a deliberate regional structure bringing multiple allies together to help defend israel is that not a win for israel to see those defenses works at work in this case. And whats your response to the us president and others in the white house saying israel should look at this as a win one of the first we have to thank the support and the cooperation and anything you was meaningful to furyk operation last night. But when we look at the facts most of the interception well done by our troops, our forces, but still we, we are waiting for the support that we received last night. We dont take it for granted, but its definitely not a win not lets not foolish. Our selves. When we will hiding in the shelter last night. And the entire nation was looking at the rockets flying into usual riyad. Few people enjoy the little girl at the age of 70, that was a unfortunately seriously injured. But we cannot call it a victory and ill win. Well be when we will send a clear message to iran, not to mess with you as well, we have no interest to start a war with one, even though they sending the proxies from lebanon, yemen, iraq for the last few months. We have been dealing with the proxies obiwan. But if thats turning the vector, missiles into our communities definitely not a wing to intercept 99 . Its a great achievement, but its not a win before we go, ive spoken to representatives of the families of hostages still held in gaza, and they already had concern prior to the last 24, 48 hours that negotiations were stalled now, they have heightened concern that this will set back negotiations once again, where do those negotiations stand and is there any positive are hopeful message for the families of hostages still held in gaza . Well, unfortunately, i dont have good news tonight because we got the message from hamas. Every time we make a compromise and we want to move forward. They come with new demands and as we speak, we are 133 author j in the hands of hamas that suffering from ongoing networks but we pray for them, but and we are committed to do everything in our power to bring them back. But i think hamas is not interested in any negotiation. Theyre just playing they hope that the world will push israel to stop the war, but we will not stop until we bring them back.

Lets seven eastern were learning more tonight about how and when do us learned about a rons plans to launch an attack on israel, a diplomatic source says that iran told turkish officials last week about its plans to retaliate against israel. Turkey in turn, informed the us in advance this likely played a key role in the coordinated response and defense of israel. Israel says with the help of countries including the us, britain, and france, nearly all the missiles and drones fired towards israel by iran were shot down Senior National security correspondent Natasha Bertrand joins us now from the pentagon. Natasha i wonder, how did this intelligence help israel its allies prepare . And what do they believe the intention was here . Do they believe it was deliberately telegraphed . Yeah. Jim, so we dont know exactly how the information from turkey exactly played into how the us was planning for this. But according to Senior Administration officials, the us has been planning for a potential iranian strike on israel really since the moment that israel struck that building in damascus in syria, what iran has called, of course its consulate there, the us understood and its always understood. This was likely to prompt a very serious response by the iranians who took that very seriously because they viewed it as an attack of course, on their sovereign terr
