The Allah Party entered the war, and the war situation in Gaza was variable
On the evening of 10 October, the Israeli military said that Syria had fired rockets from the heights of the Golan into northern Israel. This is the first time Syria has launched an attack on Israel since the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Israelis said there had been no casualties or property damage and had responded against military targets in Syria.
According to Lebanese media reports, it was not Syrian government forces who fired the rockets, but the Lebanese Allah Party. The Allah Party is an important ally of Iran in the Middle East and a staunch supporter of the Palestinian people. In a televised address on 9 October, Allah Party Secretary-General Nasrallah condemned Israeli atrocities in Gaza and said the Allah Party was ready to provide any form of assistance to the Palestinians.
The participation of the Allah Party in the war has undoubtedly brought new variables to the war situation in Gaza. On the one hand, Allah fire support may boost the morale and resistance of Palestinian forces; On the other hand, the involvement of the Allah party may also trigger a direct conflict between Israel and Iran, leading to a further deterioration of the regional situation.
Syria responded, and Israel was caught in a two-front fight
The Syrian government expressed support for the Allah's actions and warned Israel not to commit any violations of Syrian territory. Syria's Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying Syria has the right to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity and will stand with the Palestinian people until they achieve freedom and independence.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said in an interview with Russian media that Israel's attack on Gaza is a flagrant violation of international law and humanitarianism and a provocation to all mankind. He also accused the United States and the European Union of condoning and supporting Israel as a source of instability and unrest in the Middle East.
For its part, Israel said it would not tolerate attacks from any direction and would continue to take all necessary measures to protect national security and civilian lives. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at an October 11 cabinet meeting that Israel is facing a two-tier threat from the south and the north and will respond resolutely.
Saudi Arabia spoke, and the EU's attitude changed
In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, as an important trump card, has also made its voice heard in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. On October 10, local time, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman said that Saudi Arabia will continue to support the Palestinians to realize their legitimate rights and called on the international community to take urgent action to stop Israel's aggression against Gaza.
Saudi Arabia's statement is different from its past position. Saudi Arabia used to be one of the staunchest supporters of the Palestinians, but in recent years, Saudi Arabia and Israel have a certain tacit understanding and cooperation on the Iranian issue. Saudi Arabia also supported the so-called "deal of the century" proposed by US President Donald Trump, which was rejected by the Palestinian side as a betrayal of the Palestinian people.
There have also been some changes in the EU's attitude in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The European Union overturned a statement by an European commissioner earlier in the day announcing that the agency would "immediately" suspend development assistance to Palestine. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Borrell said the EU has not changed its aid policy to Palestine and will continue to provide humanitarian and development assistance to Palestinians.
The EU also calls on Israel and Palestine to stop the violence and to restart peace talks. Borrell said the EU was extremely concerned about the situation in Gaza and urged both sides to avoid civilian casualties, especially children. He also said the EU would work with other members of the Middle East Quartet, including Russia, the United States and the United Nations, to find ways to restore dialogue and stability.
epilogue
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been going on for nearly a month, causing hundreds of deaths and casualties, as well as extensive property damage. Gaza is facing a serious humanitarian catastrophe, and the land, known as the "densely populated open-air prison", is suffering from Israel's all-round blockade and hunger tactics.
The Palestinian people are not alone in this unequal war. From the Allah Party to Syria, from Saudi Arabia to the European Union, more and more countries and organizations have expressed sympathy and support for the Palestinian people and called on Israel to stop its attacks and massacres in Gaza.
Israel, on the other hand, is isolated and troubled. After US President Joe Biden took office, Israel lost the unconditional support of the Trump era. The U.S. government has repeatedly urged Israel to achieve a ceasefire and has expressed its willingness to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia would provide military aid to Palestine if necessary.
