Marco Rubio: Biden Telling Israel Not to Respond ‘Encourages Iran’

"Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President Joe Biden telling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to respond to the attack “encourages Iran.”
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “We’re waiting to see how is your response to this attack. Iran is
already warning that any
Israeli retaliation will be met with a more severe response from Iran. You called this the most dangerous moment for the Middle East since 1973. What do you think Israel should do
?”
Rubio said, “I’m not going to tell Israel what to do because I’m not the one that was attacked by 300 rockets and missiles and drones. I do know that Israel is very clear military doctrine, and that is that they respond to attacks by responding to those with something much more severe it is how they have survived. This is a country, a Jewish state that on its very hour of existence was attacked in multiple multiple directions by multiple countries and it has not stopped since then. They have faced constant existential threats to their existence on a repeated basis throughout their history. In fact jury is defined by that. So they have made the decision on their military doctrine that they respond to attacks on Israel disproportionately. It is the reason why we have not had another 1973 year 1967 situation.” Breitbart

Biden Tells Bibi: US Will Not Support A Counterattack Against Iran After Hundreds Of Drones, Missiles Sent

"Israel's military is reporting the Iranian attack has stopped, several hours after Iran said its 'limited' operation has "concluded" - which involved an unprecedented hundreds of suicide drones as well as ballistic missiles sent against Israel in retaliation for the April 1st Israeli attack on Iran's embassy in Damascus. Below is the top story from English-language Times of Israel:
Hebrew media reports claim that not a single drone or cruise missile managed to infiltrate
Israeli airspace.
According to the unsourced reports, most ballistic missiles were also knocked down outside of
Israeli airspace.
A report in Ynet says some 20 cruise missiles were downed short of
Israel’s borders. The US, UK and Jordan helped take down many of the drones.
Israel
is reporting very little damage inside the country (though previously admitting "minor damage" against at least one key airbase in the south).
After the enormous
Iranian drone and missile swarm a senior Israeli official has been quoted by Israel's Channel 12 as saying "Iran’s attack was a strategic failure." The official added in a threatening manner, "Now they can get ready and not sleep in peace." Israel's war cabinet appears to be readying a military response... the Biden White House appears to be strongly signaling to the Netanyahu government that the attack is 'done' and that the United States will not back any follow-up counterattack operations against Iran:
US President Joe Biden told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US will not aid any Israeli counterattack on Iran, US media report, citing senior administration officials.
Axios and CNN report that message was passed during a phone call between the pair.
Axios reports that Biden told Netyanyahu the US will oppose any Israeli counterattack.
CNN reports that Biden said the US will not take part in any such counteraction.
Israel has called on a United Nations Security Council meeting to condemn the Iranian aggression, which is expected to take place late Sunday. The US administration appears to be lobbying for a status quo and for Israel to not mount a strong response." ZH
