- Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says “we will make our own decisions” over how it responds to Iran following a missile attack over the weekend.
It comes after UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron called for Israel to show restraint in its response.
Mr Netanhayu met with the UK and Germany's foreign ministers on Wednesday.
“World leaders have also all types of suggestions and advice, I appreciate it but I want to make clear that we will make our own decision,” Mr Netanyahu said.
“The state of Israel will do all that is needed to defend itself,” he said.
Iran said the missile attack on Israel was in retaliation for a strike on an Iranian consular building in Syria earlier this month, which killed two Iranian generals.

- WA farmers hold an urgent meeting amid record-breaking dry spell

- Description
- Farmers in the Southwest of WA have held an urgent meeting to discuss how the record-breaking dry spell has affected their livestock.
Farmers said the lack of rain, feed and uncertainty in the future of live sheep exports have come together in a perfect storm.
“Feed very short, but very expensive, the issue at the moment is finding enough feed, the whole state is probably going to run out of feed,” Manjimup farmer Gary Ryan.
On an average year good quality hay costs around $150 to $250 a ton, the lack of supply and increase in demand means that the price has almost doubled.
The state government recently launched a dry season task force to help address the lack of feed and water for livestock and to get advice on how to support regional communities affected by this record-breaking dry spell.

- Sky News host Andrew Bolt has praised Defence Minister Richard Marles for his “scarily honest” assessment of the Australian Defence Force and how it has been “caught with its pants down”.
Mr Marles unveiled another $50 billion of ADF spending over the next 10 years as he launched a new defence government strategy at the National Press Club on Wednesday.
The Defence Minister said the complex strategic circumstances being seen around the world required Australia to conduct the “biggest re-assessment” of its strategic posture in 35 years.
Mr Bolt claimed most of the fault is with past Liberal governments as Australia will not be in “fighting shape” for almost a decade.
“Richard Marles is a smart man and spoke very well today, he can see the danger, he can see what we need,” he said.
“But the people really running the Albanese government won't give him to money to buy it, and fast.”
