Russia and Turkey launched a coordinated attack against Israel and especially the USA.
The positions of the Russians and Turks, especially Erdogan, show that they are waiting for Israel in the corner.
If it suffers heavy losses in Gaza, and is dragged into a protracted war with Hezbollah and other Shiite militias, it will be called upon to capitulate. In order to then implement the last phase of the joint Russian-Turkish plan:
The mission of peacekeeping troops in Gaza..
Russian President Vladimir Putin in a rare public address on Friday (13/10) compared Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip to Nazi Germany's siege of Leningrad during World War II and called for a solution to the conflict through mediation.
Israeli media convey the statements of the Russian president in exactly this way.
In particular, Putin said on Friday that an Israeli ground attack on Gaza would result in a level of civilian casualties that would be "absolutely unacceptable".
Putin spoke after Israel's military called on all Gazans - more than 1 million people - to move south within 24 hours as it assembled tanks ahead of an expected ground invasion.
Putin said there had been calls even in the United States for a blockade of Gaza on par with " the siege of Leningrad in World War II."
"The resolution of the conflict is possible only through the creation of an independent state of Palestine," stressed the Russian leader, expressing his opinion at a meeting in a limited form of the CIS summit.
"Israel received an unprecedented attack with great cruelty. And, of course, he has the right to protection, he has the right to secure his peaceful existence
Right now the most important thing is to stop the bloodshed. And in this regard, collective efforts are more than necessary.
Russia is ready to coordinate with all constructively thinking partners.
A ground operation in Gaza would be fraught with dire consequences and civilian casualties would be unacceptable," the Russian president noted.
We proceed from the belief that there is no alternative to resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict except through negotiations.
Their goal should be the implementation of the UN's "two-state formula", which provides for the creation of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, which will coexist in peace and security with Israel," concluded Putin .
Erdogan's attack on Blinken and Israel
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan later said Israel should allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip through Egypt's Rafah crossing.
In a speech in Istanbul, Erdogan said Turkey would continue to send aid to Gaza in cooperation with Egypt and that Turkish authorities were continuing contacts to free hostages and find a solution to the crisis.
The Turkish president also criticized the United States for sending an aircraft carrier off Israel.
Turkey, with a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, describes as "unacceptable" the announcement of the Israeli Army, which calls on residents in northern Gaza to evacuate the area and head south.
He adds that it is a "violation of international law" to force the residents of Gaza to move, especially after the many days of shelling of Gaza and their deprivation of water, food and electricity.
Erdogan slams Blinken and Israel - Sends humanitarian aid to Gaza via Egypt
Erdogan told his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in a phone call today that human rights violations against civilians in Gaza were unacceptable and that Ankara was working to bring aid to the Palestinians.
A senior Turkish official said this week Ankara was holding talks with Hamas over the release of civilian prisoners.
The Turkish aid mission coincides with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's visit to Cairo for talks on regional and bilateral issues.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said earlier today that Israel should allow humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip through Egypt's Rafah crossing.
In a speech in Istanbul, Erdogan said Turkey would continue to send aid to Gaza in cooperation with Egypt and that Turkish authorities were continuing contacts to free hostages and find a solution to the crisis.
According to Agence France-Presse, the Turkish president also criticized the statements of the head of US diplomacy, Anthony Blinken, who said that he presented himself to Israel as the US foreign minister "but also as a Jew ".
The Turkish president also criticized the United States for sending an aircraft carrier off Israel.
