Domestically, Netanyahu will pay enormous price if Israel does not respond. It kills the small chance he had in the looming election. If he does choose to respond, he risks invoking Trump's wrath and having a public clash with him (which he has avoided so far). A real bind

FIFA and Trump's administration are head to head at the "who's the most corrupt?" competition.

Wow: Trump is obviously angry with Netanyahu's attack on Beirut, despite his reported tough warning to him: Axios now reports that Trump plans to call Netanyahu and ask that Israel not respond to Iran's attack. Will this last? Not if one goes by his track record with Netanyahu.
FIFA announced that it is disappointed and will raise the issue with President Trump when they give him their inaugural World Leadership Award

Pew: Across 36 countries polled a median of 67% of all adults have an unfavorable view of Israel
Trump also made clear to Fox News that he 'is not happy' about the Israeli attack on Beirut, further linking the Iranian attack with Israeli action, suggesting that the development has undermined a deal.

Trump fo FoxNews: "What I would suggest to Iran: You've shot your missiles, that's enough. Get back to the table and make deal," seemingly accepting that Iran was retaliating for Israel's attack on Beirut, as they had threatened, and as he had warned Netanyahu about. Remarkable!

This is a truly remarkable event in that Iran is initiating attack on Israel in response to an Israeli attack on Lebanon. Unprecedented development.

After Israel attacks Beirut, Iran launches multiple rounds of missile strikes at Northern Israel.
