After Netanyahu's harsh words, Hamas was not to be outdone. On October 30, Hamas's top military commander, Sinwar, issued a shocking statement in which he said they would treat Israel indiscriminately** and treat the October 7 clash as a dress rehearsal. This statement immediately aroused the attention and concern of the international community.
Although the temporary ceasefire agreement is still in force, the two sides do not seem to have stopped threatening each other. Netanyahu once again made tough statements, emphasizing that Israel will resolutely defend its security interests. Hamas, for its part, continues to warn that it will not sit idly by and watch Israel's actions and will do whatever is necessary to protect its territory and people.
The Middle East was once again filled with the smell of gunpowder. Tensions are escalating and there is uncertainty about where the future holds. The international community has called on both sides to exercise restraint and resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiation to avoid further escalation of the conflict.
However, both sides seem to be unheeded by each other's rhetoric and continue to hold their ground. This situation of mutual threat makes the possibility of a peaceful solution even more remote. People cannot help but worry that if the confrontation between the two sides continues, the Middle East region will fall into an even deeper crisis.
