Hamas has accepted a ceasefire deal by Egypt and Qatar which would include releasing half of the remaining living Israeli hostages in exchange for 60 days of stopping the war, as part of a phased final end of the war. I suspect Netanyahu will reject it www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Bizim için asıl rahatsız edici olan, İsrail ve ABD'nin İran'da bir rejim değişikliği senaryosunu hayata geçirmeleri olacaktır. İran'ın çözülmesi ve istikrarsızlığa düşmesi Irak ve Suriye'ye benzemez. Sonuçları ve insani boyutta tetikleyeceği olumsuzluklar çok daha ağır olur.
