Iran warns Israel to stop war in Gaza or region will 'go out of control'

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".

I warn Iran to tell their terrorist Hamas gang to surrender and free all hostages including the Gazan people.

Absolutely, the Palestinians should stop bombing themselves.

Hamas has already proposed a truce. It's Israel that refused.

Don't forget Hamas attacked first during a ceasefire. That truce is only a preparation for worse.

You mean the 2021 ceasefire or something else?

Before or after murdering a thousand civilians and celebrating those murders in streaming services?

If Hamas gives you a bag full of goodwill that bag probably has anthrax in it.

"now that the terror has been terrorised, we do a little trucin"

Yeah that's a hard no.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

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.

"I warn the US and its proxy Israel that if they do not immediately stop the crime against humanity and genocide in Gaza, anything is possible at any moment and the region will go out of control," Mr Amir-Abdollahian said at a news conference in Tehran.

"If any group or any country is looking to widen this conflict and take advantage of this very unfortunate situation... our advice is: don't," he said on the ABC network's This Week programme.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also mentioned a "likelihood of escalation" from Iranian proxies, such as Hezbollah or Hamas, and said the US was "taking every measure to make sure we can defend" Israelis and US citizens.

Also on Sunday, Mr Netanyahu paid a visit to troops in northern Israel near the border with Lebanon, which has seen exchanges of fire with Hezbollah since the early days of the conflict.

And in neighbouring Syria - where Iran has a military presence - Israeli missiles hit Damascus and Aleppo international airports early on Sunday, killing at least two workers, according to Syrian state media.

The original article contains 549 words, the summary contains 208 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Iran cares for Gaza in the same way the US cares for Ukraine.

They don't, but they're happy to arm them in order to make their opponent weaker.

fosforus

That's exactly what they're doing in Gaza.

Iranian politely threatens a nation besieged less than three weeks ago.

One terrorist attack doesn’t equal a siege. Cutting off supplies and blockading a territory is a siege. Palestinians have been under some for decades now.

StalksEveryone

•

you’re saying palestinians have been denied supplies and have been in a blockade for decades? are you aware that an actually besieged population resorts to cannibalism within a month’s time?

TheDankHold

•

When was the last time a Gaza citizen could leave the region without the permission of the Israeli government? Just because the siege is done in a way to maximize good pr doesn’t make the siege non existent.

The overwhelming majority of available water is non potable and malnutrition is an epidemic there but they are still alive so I guess it’s not actually happening in your eyes.

Remember when the IDF murdered a bunch of activists for trying to sail in with food and medical supplies on a flotilla? Here’s some info on what happened:

“According to a UN report, all activist deaths were caused by gunshots, and "the circumstances of the killing of at least six of the passengers were in a manner consistent with an extra-legal, arbitrary and summary execution."”

This was in 2010 and the blockade hasn’t ceased to exist.

so you can’t leave then decide to fly on a bicycle to attack for the sake of pr, brilliant nobel peace prize flawless victory please continue

What are you referring to here? I think you mistyped.

Regardless. The average age of a person in Gaza is 18. The percentage of Hamas militants among the population is around 1%. Stop treating the people like a monolith. I know it makes it easy for people to justify atrocities but it’s intellectually lazy.

These are mostly children that are suffering, born into the iron grip of a fundamentalist regime with zero access education of any kind.

By all means keep justifying their collective abuse if you want. Just be more honest about what you advocate.

PalestineNexus.com is a great resource to learn about this region and the people involved in this conflict.

That's definitely not biased AF.

Never said it wasn’t. Zachary J. Foster is a Ph.D student in the Near East Studies Department at Princeton University, focusing on the modern Middle East.

Yea, sometimes to truly understand an issue, situation or long standing human conversation or culture, there is simply no escaping biased sources all the way to the point where you actually want to seek them out, especially if they themselves do their bias and cause as much "justice" as they can.

One, because there's always bias, so trying to escape it is futile to the point of constructing a bias all on its own. Two, because the situation/issue/culture/conversation is the biases, and so if you want to understand it you have to understand the biases of the various parties, to understand the parties themselves and their interactions ... right?!

This isn't "two-side-ism", where you stridently presume neutrality and give all sides equal uncritical weight, but rather that you try to understand all sides even when you're pretty sure you want attack their position as strongly as you can.

In application, this often manifests in the fact that best way to understand an argument is to study the side you are inclined to disagree with or the side that is stridently in the minority. The general idea is to not try to avoid bias to try to seek it out and characterise it.

Oh, he was on Hasan's stream recently and did a fantastic job dunking on zionist video.

Debunking Zionist talking points? Looks good to me. Zionists are amongst the most biased, indoctrinated groups I've talked to. They make Americans look practically objective.

Glad I could help. He also has YouTube videos.

What a disgusting comment.

BraveSirZaphod

•

Frankly, disgusting or not, it's essentially accurate. Israel is not going to tolerate Hamas and a militarized Gaza continuing to exist, regardless of how many people on the internet post criticisms of it.

danque

•

Yeah, but on the other hand. This situation can't stay like this. Something needs to happen even if it's horrible and disgusting. Imagine a small part of land attached to your country that keeps attacking you and if you fight back your the enemy. That's not sustainable.

Invisinak

•

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.

BaldProphet

•

Imagine making excuses for terrorists.

Killing_Spark

•

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.

So if you had been trapped your while life in an open air prison camp. With limited food and water, electricity for just a few hours a day, and being bombed regularly, you would just sit back and accept that that was the way of the world?

Or would you fight back?

I don't think any of us can say how we would react if we were Palestinian, but my gut feeling is, that having watched women and children killed in bombings for two decades, we would probably say all bets are off and do exactly what Hamas have done

BaldProphet

•

You are literally trying to justify the slaughter of Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists. Terrorists who use unguided rockets to kill Israelis (and often also Gazans) indiscriminately.

Hamas are not freedom fighters. They are genocidal terrorists who will not stop until they are eliminated or Israel ceases to exist.

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?
