Israeli media reported on Tuesday evening that the country’s war cabinet has decided how it will respond to Iran’s unprecedented attack over the weekend with the timing being the only factor that has not yet been determined. The war cabinet — which consists of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‚ Defense Minister Yoav Gallant‚ and a former head of Israel’s military‚ Benny Gantz — is now waiting for “opportunity to be exploited” so that the attack can be launched‚ according to Israel’s Kann News. Government officials advised Netanyahu that he needed to attack “sensitive facilities in Iran” in response to the Islamic Republic launching more than 300 missiles and drones at Israel‚ the report said. One government official said that the longer the response takes to carry out‚ the less likely it is to be significant in scale or impact. The New York Times highlighted examples of options that Israeli officials are choosing from and the potential drawbacks of some of the plans‚ which include: Conduct an aggressive strike on an Iranian target‚ such as an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp base‚ in a country other than Iran like Syria. (The drawback is that it lacks the symmetry of responding to a direct attack on Israel with a direct attack on Iran.) Strike a mostly symbolic target inside Iran. (Such a move would likely require U.S. consultation and would risk angering the Americans who have advised against such a strike.) Conduct a cyberattack on Iran’s infrastructure. (Doing so could expose Israel’s cyber capabilities prematurely and would not be an in-kind response to a major airstrike.) Accelerate small attacks inside Iran‚ including targeted assassinations‚ carried out by the Mossad. (Israel does not claim responsibility for such attacks‚ so they fail to match the public nature of Iran’s strike.)

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp slammed House Republicans on Tuesday who were trying to force House Speaker Mike Johnson out of his position‚ thus throwing the U.S. House of Representatives into chaos. Kemp directed his remarks at Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)‚ who posted on X that he was supporting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) motion to vacate the speakership. “I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate that was introduced by @RepMTG‚” Massie posted. “He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did)‚ so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker.” Kemp responded: “Instead of bickering amongst themselves and handing Democrats control of the House‚ Republicans should do their damn job and vote on the important issues facing our nation. Enough is enough. I support @SpeakerJohnson.” Instead of bickering amongst themselves and handing Democrats control of the House‚ Republicans should do their damn job and vote on the important issues facing our nation. Enough is enough. I support @SpeakerJohnson. https://t.co/r429Zb1yyd — Brian Kemp (@BrianKempGA) April 16‚ 2024 The effort by Greene and Massie to oust Johnson comes after former President Donald Trump held a press conference with Johnson where he backed up the House Speaker. Trump said at the event on Friday that Johnson was “doing a really good job under very tough circumstances‚” adding: “I stand with the speaker‚ we’ve had a very good relationship.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “We’re getting along very well with the Speaker and I get along very well with Marjorie. We have a Speaker who was voted in and it was a complicated process … it’s not an easy situation for any Speaker‚” Trump later added. “I think he’s doing a very good job‚ he’s doing about as good as you’re going to do and I’m sure that Marjorie understands that. She’s a very good friend of mine and I know she has a lot of respect for the speaker.”

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles spoke at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for a Young America’s Foundation event Tuesday night‚ where he addressed the ongoing debate surrounding abortion. Following former President Donald Trump’s long-awaited statement on abortion policy and the decision by the Arizona Supreme Court to allow a law to take effect that protects unborn babies from abortion in nearly all cases‚ Republicans have fought over how to address the hot-button issue in the midst of a major election cycle. Knowles‚ who said he is “as pro-life as they come‚” added that there is a “fair concern” among some Republicans that taking a strong pro-life stance during the 2024 election campaign will hand victories in the House‚ Senate‚ and presidency to Democrats. This concern appears to be shared by Trump‚ who said he wants laws on abortion to be decided by the states. “Some pro-lifers have criticized President Trump for this stance. They wish‚ in the wake of Roe v. Wade’s reversal‚ that he would go further‚” Knowles said. “They wish that he would come out in support of a national abortion ban—or even an additional Court ruling that would ban abortion on the basis of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. Some have gone so far as to say that President Trump is not a pro-life candidate.” “This‚ I think‚ is unfair. Deeply unfair‚” the Daily Wire host continued. “Because President Trump is the only reason that we’re even having this discussion at all. President Trump is the reason Roe v. Wade was reversed in the first place. There have been six Republican presidents since Roe v. Wade invented a national license to abortion. Six Republican presidents since the first March for Life in 1974. Trump is the only one to ever to show up. Nixon didn’t show up. Ford didn’t show up. Not even Saint Ronald Reagan or either of Bush showed up. Just Trump.” While Knowles argued that some of the criticism of Trump for his “prudent” abortion stance is “unfair‚” he said that some Republicans have gone too far in their effort to appear more moderate on the issue and have “sacrificed their principles.” He discussed how Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake came out with a statement‚ calling abortion “such a personal and private issue” and saying that she “want[s] to make sure that every woman who finds herself pregnant has more choices so that she can make that choice that I made.” The Daily Wire host said he likes Lake “a lot“ and hopes her Senate campaign “corrects course” so she can defeat her Democrat opponent‚ “who describes the murder of babies as a ‘sacred right.’” Knowles added that for a conservative to run a politically strategic campaign in 2024‚ they “should say that they support life‚ they support babies and mothers‚ and they respect the Supreme Court precedent established in Dobbs that abortion is a matter for the states rather than the federal government.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Such a stance allows candidates to side-step a thorny issue in a tough election year without sacrificing their principles‚” Knowles added. “Mouthing off and losing elections does not advance the pro-life cause‚” Knowles continued. “Likewise‚ abandoning our principles to win elections does not advance the pro-life cause. Pro-life losers do no more to protect innocent life than pro-abortion candidates do. We have to win. And likewise‚ conservatives who win by caving on fundamental principles are no better than the liberals. ‘What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul&;#63;’”
