Iran Press/ West Asia: During a panel session at the Munich Security Conference, he said: “When it comes to the killing of Palestinians, we see that there is an abandonment of the basic principle of truth, right and wrong.”
“There is a need to apply the same principles to all cases and situations. This was our position when the Russian-Ukrainian war took place, and our position remained the same and we applied it to what is happening in Gaza.”
Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7. killing at least 28,985 and wounding 68,883 others. The death toll in Israel from the October 7 Hamas attacks stands at 1,139.
Israel had announced its goal from the beginning of the operation to destroy Hamas and then release the Israeli captives in Gaza, but after more than four months, not only this goal has not been achieved, but Israel's insistence on these two goals has caused differences in that society. Experts believe that Israel is now in a dilemma and must choose between destroying Hamas or freeing the captives. Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Israeli regime, is under very strong domestic pressure from members of the right-wing part of the government. Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, and Bezalel Smotrich, the finance minister, have been threatening to leave the government if Netanyahu enters a deal they say is unfavorable to Israel, including the release of thousands of Palestinian detainees from Israeli jails.
He also has pressure from the opposition Benny Gantz, who joined Netanyahu’s emergency government. He and his party are not part of the wider coalition and Gantz is saying that if Netanyahu continues to cave to the right, he’s going to leave the emergency government. Then you have another member of the opposition, Yair Lapid, who has said that if the right-wing leaves the government, his party is ready to step in to offer Netanyahu a safety net if it means agreeing to a deal that would bring back captives from Gaza. Pressure also continues to mount on Netanyahu from the Americans as well as from the families of the captives and also those people who have been displaced on the northern side of its border, experts believe that the destruction of Hamas is a far-fetched goal.
