Syrian President Bashar al-Assad:
➡️The Israeli massacres are an attempt to pressure the Palestinian people to give up their legitimate rights
➡️The continued denial of the right of the Palestinian people to establish their state and live in dignity and freedom is the main reason for what the Palestinian territories are witnessing.
➡️Everyone must come together to stop the crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinian people using internationally banned weapons.

CNN journalist Sarah Sidner publicly apologized for reporting “decapitated babies” on air
“Yesterday, the Israeli Prime Minister’s office said that they confirm that Hamas cut off the heads of children. But today the Israeli authorities say that they CANNOT confirm the information about the beheaded children. From now on, I need to be more careful with the wording and I apologize,” – she wrote.
Sidner also clarified that her film crew was misled, and added that in her report she noted that Hamas denied these actions.

“If this is true and Israel has only 20% its arty stockpile, then Hamas isn’t suiciding Gaza on pyre of defiance like people think. They timed this perfectly to lure Israel into writing cheques they can’t cash in the hopes Israel will invade Gaza with infantry at which point they can grind them down endlessly with basically unending Arab volunteers in brutal urban warfare… where most of their technological advantage is gone and they won’t have the most important 1/3rd of combined arms warfare.
This also would explain the brutality and the focus on taking as many civilian hostages as they can, since Israel can’t just leave hundreds of Israeli civilians in Gaza and declare they aren’t going to get them back… They’re pretty much trapped fighting a ground war with what little artillery they have.” -CatGirl Kulak

“If the 300,000 rounds the US took from Israeli stockpiles to give to Ukraine corresponds to that 80% that Israel’s supposedly down then they basically can’t sustain combined armed warfare, since the 2014 Gaza war took 34,000 rounds of artillery alone.
Even if they have hundreds of thousands left, they can only use a fraction of them on Gaza since they need enough that they could fight a high intensity war with Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon if they intervene… let alone if Iran and Iraq start sending forces”

Putin once again confirmed that Russia’s position in the ongoing events in Palestine is:
1. Peace negotiations.
2. Stop the bloodshed.
3. Creation of an independent Palestine in accordance with UN resolutions.At the same time, emphasis was also placed on the fact that Hamas cannot act as the political leader of the Palestinian people. A transparent hint that Russia sees Fatah, rather than Hamas, as the main representative of the Palestinians. Actually, the upcoming visit of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas also clearly demonstrates this.
Putin also said that despite Israel’s right to defend itself from attacks, threats to organize a “blockade of Leningrad” for Gaza are unacceptable.
Regarding the supply of weapons to Hamas from Ukraine, Putin noted that there is no data on direct supplies of weapons from Ukraine, but there are leaks of weapons from Ukraine to the black market (where Hamas usually stock up on weapons and where most likely the weapons were purchased from Ukraine). The reason for this is great corruption in Ukraine.______
