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”.

    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.
