🗣️ Israel not prepared for Hezbollah’s second front:

"I would think that Hezbollah have surprises up their sleeve. And I can't even guess what they are. They might actually invade Israel. It's quite possible they would do that. They have 100,000 troops, all experienced. They've been fighting in Syria against ISIS, Daesh* for a long time. They're experienced. They're very sophisticated technically. Hezbollah has a huge arsenal of missiles. Something like 80,000 cruise missiles and smart drones. If Hezbollah joins this conflict, opens the front, this would present an existential threat to the future of Israel,” Alastair Crooke, former British diplomat and MI6 agent, told the New Rules podcast.

*Daesh (also known as ISIS/ISIL/IS) is a terrorist organization outlawed in Russia and many other states.

🇮🇱Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on British Sky News:

- And what about those Palestinians in hospital who are on life support, and babies and incubators whose life support and incubator will have to be turned off because the Israelis have cut the power to Gaza?

-Are you seriously keep on asking me about Palestinian civilians? What's what's wrong with you? Have you not seen what happened? We're fighting Nazis. We don't target them. Now the world can come and bring them anything they want. If you want to bring them electricity, I'm not going to feed electricity or water to my enemies. If anyone else wants, that's fine. We're not responsible for this.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Two-state solution or one-state agreement: what are the options on Palestine’s path to statehood?

Hamas-led militants’ surprise offensive deep into Israeli-controlled territory around Gaza has again focused the world’s attention on the 75-year perpetual conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. Amid the crisis, it’s worth reexamining the history of the Palestinians’ quest for statehood, obstacles standing in the way, and options available.

Russia “has always advocated for the implementation of decisions of the United Nations Security Council, meaning, first and foremost, the creation of an independent Palestinian state. This is at the root of all problems,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an address at an energy forum in Moscow on Wednesday, touching on the escalating Israeli-Palestinian crisis.
