At the tense moment when the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues, Turkey President Erdogan's remarks against Israel have once again aroused widespread concern in the international community. According to the Observer, Erdogan said: "We have to be very strong so that Israel cannot do these ridiculous things to Palestine." Turkey may enter Israel to help the Palestinians, as it has done in the past in Libya and the Nagorno-Karabakh region. However, Erdogan did not specify what kind of "interventions" he would take. What should we think about this? Let's talk about three topics.
First, Erdogan has repeatedly blamed Israel
It is not the first time that Erdogan has expressed dissatisfaction with Israel's behavior. Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Erdogan has repeatedly publicly condemned Israel's military operations, accusing them of causing massive casualties among Palestinian civilians and destruction of infrastructure. He strongly called on the international community to take more active and effective measures to put an end to Israel's actions and to effectively guarantee the basic rights of the Palestinian people.
Of these, two public accusations are particularly impressive. For the first time, he denounced: "What Israel is doing in Gaza is complete genocide, not like the actions of one country, but like some organization." The second time, he directly named Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu, saying that "Netanyahu is no different from Hitler, this Israel prime minister 'makes people miss Hitler', and he even 'makes Hitler sigh for himself'." ”
Later, Israel also countered Erdogan, saying that "you are not a good person" and mentioning that Turkey has also acted inappropriately in places such as Libya. At present, the two countries have withdrawn diplomatic personnel from each other, and relations are extremely tense. It has to be said that Erdogan's statement this time that he "may intervene in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict" to help Palestine once again demonstrates his tough attitude towards Israel. This statement is not only based on deep sympathy for the Palestinian people, but also on the firm pursuit of justice and fairness.
Second, Israel shows United States support for itself
In the face of Erdogan's tough rhetoric, Israel Foreign Minister Katz quickly responded. He called Erdogan on the path of Saddam Hussein and threatened to attack Israel. At the same time, Katz's response also shows from the side that Israel believes that he has the firm support of United States.
United States' stance on the Palestinian-Israeli issue has always had an important impact on Israel. The United States has provided Israel with a lot of support in political, military and economic aspects, which gives Israel a certain confidence in the face of external pressure and threats.
For example, even though United States itself is unhappy with the large number of civilian deaths caused by Israel, its military assistance to Israel has never stopped; The United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council have issued four resolutions "calling for a ceasefire", and Israel has not implemented them once, and its confidence stems from the support of United States behind it. Moreover, United States Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent foreign visit, he not only delivered a speech at the United States Congress, but also met with United States President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris, and especially went to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump, who may return to the White House, and it is estimated that he has also received United States pledges of continued support.
With only half a year left in his term, Biden is unlikely to let "United States support Israel" fall by the way. Moreover, the Foreign Minister of Israel made special mention of former President Saddam Hussein of Iraq. Because when Saddam Hussein was in power in Iraq, he not only invaded neighboring Kuwait, but also threatened Israel, and finally the United States launched the Gulf War and the Iraq War, in fact, the spearhead was pointed at Iraq, and Saddam was finally sentenced to death by hanging by the United States. Israel's foreign minister threatened Erdogan with this, perhaps to say: "You'd better settle down, Israel is not something you can provoke, otherwise, the United States will teach you a lesson." ”
However, judging by Turkey's performance in NATO, it does not seem to be afraid of United States. Moreover, Erdogan, who aspires to be the "spokesman of the Muslim world", I am afraid that this will not be the last time to criticize Israel.
Third, Israel is also preparing to fight Allah
Against the backdrop of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Israel Cabinet has recently authorized the Israeli prime minister and defense minister to launch military strikes against the Lebanon Allah armed forces at their own discretion when and in the manner they want. This means that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is still ongoing, and another conflict in the Middle East is likely to be. In response, Iran has made it clear that it "will make Israel regret it", and Iran has also warned United States - do not interfere, otherwise it will set itself on fire.
However, as soon as the Israel Prime Minister returned from his visit to the United States, Israel made such a decision, apparently with the support of the White House. In the six months before Biden stepped down, Israel seemed to want to take Lebanon. However, this decision may not be tolerated by all parties. Not to mention that Iran will not agree, other countries in the Middle East, including Turkey, may not agree.
After all, Israel has been expanding the scope of the conflict, which will further worsen the situation in the region and shroud every regional country in the shadow of war. Middle Eastern powers such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey will not sit idly by. Under the shadow of war, major countries in the Middle East such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey may not agree.
