US hits sites in Syria as Gaza aid 'barely trickles in

 

World War Three in the making or Just Another Day in the Middle East ??? :cry:

 

More like Russia diverting attention away from Ukraine IF they supplied arms to Hamas before this attack.

Officially the US is for the two state solution.

I think Hamas is/should be against it. Palestinians used to be in favor for it, but now they seem to lean against it. The younger the palestinians get, the more they are against it, which might indicate that Hamas indoctrinated them to be against it.

With Israelis it is pretty much the same, they used to be in favor of it, but not so much anymore. Arab Israelis are more in favor of it than jewish israelis.

Iran doesn't want a two state solution, but apparently they used to not be against it.

Qatar on the other hand seems to be in favor of it.

Other arab countries also seem to be in favor of it.

China and Russia also seem to be in favor of a two-state solution.

Turkey also seems to be in favor of a two state solution. Turkey is in a very interesting situation, considering that they support a two-state solution for Cyprus but don't want the Kurds to have their own state.

So (at least) officially Iran (and therefore Hamas as well) seems to be the only player that is strongly against a two-state solution.

 

Here is how people in Europe and the US think about the current conflict:

I think one reason why Israel didn't (strongly) support Ukraine was that they needed russian "permission" to bomb targets in Syria. Will be interesting to see how the Israel-Russia relationship develops after Russia sided with Hamas.
