There are different explanations for the savage, bloody and unjustified attack, with barbaric action on innocent people, children, youth, entire families of Israel, carried out by the militants of the terrorist organization Hamas, after violating the security of the border with the Gaza Strip last Saturday. The main reason for the attack was said to be immersed in the strategic goal of stopping an imminent agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel to normalize relations. For now, it seems that such an agreement will not progress, since the monarchs of that Arab state will not want to jeopardize their image inside the country and in the Arab world, after the Israeli reaction with bombing and a complete blockade of Gaza. And of course, other questions now arise about the main winners of the heated situation that keeps the world in suspense.

What is Hamas? the group that has taken power in the Gaza Strip since 2007

There are those, like the Spanish journalist Ángeles Espinosa, who believe that Iran benefits greatly from this situation. And it is not an unfortunate conclusion, because there is enough background and evidence to confirm the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran. For decades, they have argued over influence in the Middle East and control of the oil market, along with deep religious differences within Islam (Sunni and Shiite branches). They are said to be maintaining a “cold war” because of their involvement with economic support in the civil wars in Syria and Yemen.

According to the note of BBC, Iran has been a sponsor and ally of Hamas for years; The mentioned British media reported the statement of Ghazi Hamad, the spokesman of Hamas, who confirmed “that the group had direct support from Iran for the attack”.

The BBC He also alluded to information from the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal, supported by an anonymous Hamas source, according to which “Iran gave the green light to the Palestinian armed group to attack a week ago at a meeting in Beirut and that “It helped for several weeks in planning this action .”

It is to be expected that external influences, apart from those that caused the conflict, will intervene to end its bloody phase and enable a negotiated solution. For now, the good news is the intervention of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who would meet today, Friday, with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, according to information from the general secretary of the Liberation executive committee. Palestine Organization. The situation of this meeting is complex, because President Abbas does not enjoy much legitimacy and more than 70% of Palestinians who were consulted last year want his resignation.

Another encouraging news is that the Red Cross is in talks with Hamas for the release of Israeli and foreign hostages. Turkish President Erdogan has also initiated a negotiation process with the Islamist organization for the same purpose.
