Despite repeated criticism of Israel by the United States, and even publicly accused Israel of losing the lives of innocent civilians due to Israeli tactics, Israel still insists on attacking Rafah. As far as Israel is concerned, Israel will not stop until Hamas is completely eliminated.
Israel has no intention of withdrawing, and all parties deeply involved in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict have also continued to move.
First, the EU expanded sanctions on Iran at a time when Iran was courting the West.
Since the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the flames of war have not only burned in Gaza, but the United States and Israel have also continued to engage in exchanges with pro-Iranian forces, and US-Iranian and Iranian-Israeli relations have further deteriorated.
And it was at this moment that Iran suddenly changed its attitude towards the United States.
According to a report on the 13th, Kamal Kharrazi, a diplomatic adviser to the Supreme Leader of Iran, said on the 12th that Iran, like the United States, regards diplomacy as the best option and is willing to resume negotiations.
According to CCTV News, on the 13th local time, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said that Iran has not changed its nuclear policy and does not seek to create nuclear weapons.
For more than half a year, Iran has insisted on making a strong attack against the United States, and now Iran has made a series of statements that are quite inclined to compromise with the United States. Iran's signal of willingness to engage in dialogue with the United States and its emphasis on Iran's restraint on the nuclear issue are as if it were a gesture of goodwill to the United States, which makes people wonder whether Iran still wants to revive the JCPOA in order to lift Western sanctions on Iran.
However, the West does not seem to appreciate Iran's overtures.
According to a report by Xinhua News Agency on the 14th, the Council of the European Union announced on the same day that the EU decided to expand the scope of sanctions against Iran, strengthen sanctions on Iran's drone industry, prohibit the export of parts and components used in drone research and development and manufacturing to Iran, and expand the scope of sanctions to the field of missiles.
The EU's move can be said to have poured cold water on Iran, and even if Iran intends to revive the JCPOA, the West is afraid that it is not interested in it now, and may even deliberately pour cold water on Iran. In addition, judging from the content of EU sanctions, the West may still be haunted by Iran's role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Second, Turkey has openly admitted Hamas members.
On May 13, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan admitted that Turkey had taken in more than 1,000 Hamas members for treatment in Turkey, Xinhua news agency reported.
Of course, there are also people familiar with the matter who revealed that these so-called Hamas members are mainly Palestinians from Gaza, and not all of them are Hamas. However, Erdogan stressed that Turkey does not consider Hamas a terrorist organization, but rather a resistance group.
It can be seen from this that Turkey is clearly deliberately working against Israel.
Since the Israeli army has attacked Gaza, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza has been getting worse day by day, and Turkey is rightfully on the side of Palestine and has always expressed solidarity with Palestine.
And when Erdogan suffered a crushing defeat in the local elections, in order to regain popularity, Erdogan consciously exerted his efforts on the issue of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, continued to escalate the attack on Israel, and showed his support for Palestine.
Erdoğan, who first suspended trade with Israel, and now openly takes in Hamas, and even has a tendency to affirm Hamas positively, has become more aggressive, and Israel continues to attack Rafah, and Turkey cannot guarantee that it will not make more aggressive moves to support Hamas.
