On October 7, 2023, tensions in the Middle East escalated when Hamas militants attacked peaceful Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip, resulting in significant casualties on both sides. This incident led to an increase in the number of Palestinian fatalities due to Israeli military operations in Gaza, which rose to over 34,000. The situation became volatile and tense as a result.
Hamas has been classified as a terrorist organization by the US and EU, which has led to differing perspectives on Israel’s retaliatory actions in Gaza. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has warned that failure to learn from the tragic events in Gaza could potentially lead to new conflicts in the Palestinian enclave. Fidan emphasized the importance of calling on Israel to accept the 1967 borders, noting that Palestinians are in agreement on the creation of a Palestinian state within those borders. He also expressed concerns about escalating tensions between Iran and Israel potentially sparking a major war, despite the current calm in the region.
In response to the killing of an Iranian military officer in the Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Iran launched air defense systems and rockets towards Israel on April 14. However, Israel and its allies were able to successfully intercept and minimize the impact of the attack. The potential for further escalations between Iran and Israel remains a point of concern, highlighting the delicate balance in the region. Attention to
