Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has warned Israel that the Middle East could spiral out of control if it does not stop strikes on Gaza.

He said the US was also “to blame” for providing military support to Israel.

Hours later, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu warned troops his people were in a battle for their lives and said the war against Hamas was “do or die”.

    imagine having a country stolen from you and then being placed in a tiny area where you literally can’t escape from or leave without the risk of being killed. Then imagine you’re called a terrorist for attacking the people occupying your stolen land.

      It is or was not their land to begin with Hence the land was not stolen.

      Before it was occupied by the Ottoman Empire. Then the area was a British protectorate. So when in the time frame of several centuries was there a Palestinian state or nation?

        It’s not an excuse, but it’s an explanation. What Israel has been doing with the Gaza strip is literally textbook “how to breed terrorists”

        Obviously the terror that ensued is horrible and needs to be condemned. But just killing every current Hamas follower and then leaving the situation as is will just create another Hamas in the future.
