Middle East Conflict

So the official Israeli line now regarding certain supplies getting into Gaza.

All food will be stopped, UN can't get any in too.

One Million children. Fuckin unbelievable.

Awaits condemnation from world leaders?

Agree, a step too far.

You can never with any justification stop food and medicines going in, never.

There is a big difference between funding Hamas and planing a raid on Isreal.

It’s no secret Iran have been involved in planning with Hamas for years.

I think they will agree to.let the food in if all the hostages are returned.

Even water is going to be turned off and not supplied.

I'm sure Iran will be on hand to supply food and water and all the neighbouring Muslim countries....

Haaretz editorial (unsurprisingly) sticking it to Netanyahu. The opening sentence makes that abundantly clear

‘The disaster that befell Israel on the holiday of Simchat Torah is the clear responsibility of one person: Benjamin Netanyahu.‘

The fallout from Netanyahu’s war with the judiciary and security organisations also getting the blame as well as Netanyahu ignoring what warnings the Govt did receive - dismissing them as ‘politically motivated’.

God knows what Hamas was thinking with this attack. It doesn’t serve their people, it unites Israel, and Gaza will likely cease to exist. No country is going to tolerate an attack on this scale and the murder of its civilians.

The Saudi’s and others looking to normalise relations with Israel will probably put the move on ice for a while, but will be governed by their own interests in the long run and proceed with normalisation.

All in all, a depressingly familiar chapter in Middle East politics.

I think the sentiment of the Palestinians is that the Arab world will rescue them.

Over the last 5-10 years things have changed considerably and support from the Arab countries isn't so simple or even given anymore. The Saudi's are not going to damage relations with the west by going against Israel. This is especially true whilst the west holds all of the cards in the region due to the depletion and isolation of Russia.

The curveball is and always will be Iran who could become involved militarily but who knows. Iran cannot however do it without Russian support and Russia is a bit busy right now.

In terms of geopolitics, this has never been a better time for the west to pressure the natural alliances in that region and align them towards western foreign policy, the defence of Israel is seemingly a key part of that.

I'd like to think every country could find a way of getting Food, Water and medicine in. This is dehumanising.

Yeah I doubt Iran give to shits about the food and water. A humanitarian crisis in Gaza helps further their goals and recruit more fighters.

There is also a 8 mile long border with Egypt.
