JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government survived an attempt to dissolve Israel’s parliament early Thursday morning, with most of his ultra-Orthodox coalition partners joining him in voting against a bill that would have forced them to register for military service while the country is at war.

President Donald Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Friday on “Hannity” that Israel could weaken Iran financially if they were to strike their oil refineries next. Israel began its preemptive strikes against Iran Thursday,

Iran once ridiculed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the boy who cried wolf for his constant public warnings about Tehran's nuclear programme, and his repeated threats to shut it down, one way or another.

Israel warns "Tehran will burn" if Iran continues firing missiles, while state media say 60 people have been killed in a strike on Iran's capital.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition survived an attempt to dissolve Knesset as ultra-Orthodox lawmakers reach a compromise with a Likud leader over military exemptions.

Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv has been closed to traffic since Israel attacked Iran’s military and nuclear facilities on Friday morning and Iran retaliated with missile and drone strikes at Israel. Other countries in the region, including Lebanon and Jordan, said they were reopening their airspace Saturday.

Israel's leader Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken to some world leaders since the country attacked Iran, and is due to have talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin and UK's Keir Starmer.

When President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Thursday, the Israeli leader told Trump that it was the last day of his 60-day timeline for Iran to make a deal. Israel could wait no longer, Netanyahu said,

Israel’s longest serving prime minister faces the difficult task of overcoming opposition both domestically and abroad.

Israel’s leader and President Trump appeared to bet they can persevere, but other world leaders warned of unintended outcomes in a volatile region.
