He is caught in a dilemma: on the one hand, he understands that Netanyahu is almost impossible to ignore Iran's missile attacks; On the other hand, he is concerned that this cycle of retaliation may evolve into a full-scale war. Netanyahu's logic is that if there is no retaliation against Iran, it will send a signal to the outside world that Iran has the upper hand and can deter the United States and Israel from taking military action.
