The picture shows the Palestinian-Israeli conflict
The topic of this issue, the Palestinian-Israeli ceasefire has come to a standstill, Iran has once again warned against counterattack, Turkey is down, and the spearhead is directed at the Israeli Prime Minister: I want to continue to be in power by war!
At the beginning of this month, Israel blew up the Iranian embassy, and Iran launched a large-scale attack on Israel on the night of the 13th, bringing the two countries to the brink of war. The focus is on whether there will be a major war between Israel and Iran, and no one seems to be concerned about a ceasefire in Gaza.

In fact, during this time, Qatar negotiated a ceasefire in Gaza with the United States and Egypt for several weeks, but the results were not good. On April 17, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman said negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza had stalled. Since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Qatar has actively mediated and successfully facilitated a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas last year.
Mohammed said at a news conference that Qatar was reassessing its role between Israel and Hamas because they were being used. He said Qatar is becoming a scoring tool for politicians who "despise Qatar for their election campaigns." The mediators of the negotiations had hoped for a ceasefire in Gaza before Ramadan, but progress had been repeatedly frustrated, and Israeli actions had not stopped.
In fact, not to mention that cartel mediation does not work, even the United Nations, Israel still ignores it, and after the Security Council adopted a ceasefire resolution on March 25, the next day Israel withdrew its negotiators in Qatar and directly expressed its "protest" to the United Nations with practical actions. According to the then Israeli Defense Minister Gallant, a ceasefire in Gaza can only be expected if "absolute victory" is achieved.

The "absolute victory" that Gallant calls is obviously the complete elimination of Hamas and the demilitarization of Gaza, which is contrary to Hamas's position. According to Hamas's previous statement, their demand is for the full withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip, a complete end to the conflict, and ensure that humanitarian relief supplies can be delivered to Gaza without hindrance. According to the Israeli Prime Minister's Office on the 13th, Israel believes that Hamas's demands lack basis and have become an obstacle to the realization of a ceasefire.
The reason why the ceasefire negotiations are so difficult is that Israel wants to continue to use military action to achieve its goals, and the United States has not taken substantive measures to put pressure on Israel, which has delayed the progress of the Gaza ceasefire talks.
Iran has also made efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza. In the aftermath of the bombing of the embassy, Iran offered to avoid escalation if its demands were met, one of which was to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, meaning that Iran would not be held accountable for the bombing of the embassy as long as Israel was willing to withdraw its troops from Gaza. But in the end, it was rejected by Israel.
Under the impetus and pressure of Qatar, the United Nations, and Iran, the ceasefire in Gaza still does not see the light of day. Not only that, but Israel is ready to fight back against Iran, which has made the entire Middle East more volatile.
In the past few days, Israel has repeatedly declared that it will "punish" Iran, and the United States and the West have also expressed their support for Israel and imposed a new round of sanctions on Iran. On April 15, Israeli media reported that the Israeli wartime cabinet had made a final decision to respond forcefully, and they had discussed several counterattack options, with the goal of "striking Iran without triggering a full-scale war."

On April 16, Israeli Defense Minister Gallant said that the Air Force was ready to use F35, F15 and other fighters to strike Iran. The main concern at the moment is which targets they will attack in Iran. Earlier, Israel threatened to strike Iran's nuclear facilities after an attack. The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency also said on the 15th that Iran's nuclear facilities may become targets for Israeli forces.
The Israeli Air Force once made a long-distance attack in the "Operation Babylon" in the 80s of the last century and bombed Iraq's nuclear reactors, because the air raid was extremely difficult, and the Israeli Air Force is also known as creating a miracle in the history of warfare, which is really brilliant.

But Iran is no better than Iraq. Iran's nuclear facilities are mostly located at depths of 80 to 100 meters underground and are heavily protected by the military, which is difficult to destroy with conventional weapons, and in the current arsenal of the Israeli Air Force, the most powerful ground-penetrating bomb is the American-made GBU28, with a weight of 5,000 pounds, carried by the F15, but this missile can only penetrate 30 meters of thick soil. Obviously, it is very difficult for the Israeli Air Force to destroy the Iranian nuclear facilities at a depth of nearly 100 meters. At the same time, it is contrary to Israel's goal of not wanting a full-scale war, and Iran will certainly not tolerate the bombing of its nuclear facilities. If Israel retaliates, it is likely to increase the confrontation between the two sides again.

In order not to escalate the situation, many countries have begun to put pressure on Israel. Turkey, which has made a rare statement on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, has also condemned Israel in recent days. On April 17, Turkish Foreign Minister Khakanfidan said Netanyahu was exploiting regional tensions to try to keep himself in power. The Turkish foreign minister's speech was still very tough, directly exposing Netanyahu's old bottom. In addition, Jordan has also declared that it is lobbying major powers to try to get these countries to put pressure on Israel to prevent the situation from escalating.
It can be said that the countries of the Middle East are now sweating, the region is already at the crossroads of the outbreak of a full-scale conflict, and now the decision on where to go is in the hands of Israel. How the situation develops next will largely depend on Israel's actions, and Iran's response is likely to be much harsher. But now the United States is also putting pressure on Netanyahu and sanctioning Iran, which can be regarded as regaining a little face for Israel. The conflict between Israel and Iran will bring great disadvantages to the United States, so the development of the situation in the Middle East cannot only look at Israel, but also look at the United States.
As the saying goes: "If you don't listen to persuasion, so it is, so does your mind be uncertain, and so it is with changes." "Israel ignores the dissuasion of the international community, which will only lead to the unknown outcome of its own end, in any case, the Middle East is now on the verge of eruption, and if Israel still insists on going its own way, I am afraid that it will stand on the opposite side of the world.
