Iran’s foreign minister on Saturday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, warning that the war might expand to other parts of the Middle East if Hezbollah joins the battle, and that would make Israel suffer “a huge earthquake.”

Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has taken all the scenarios of a war into consideration and Israel should stop its attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.

Israel considers Hezbollah its most serious immediate threat, estimating it has some 150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided missiles that can hit anywhere in Israel. The group, which has thousands of battle-hardened fighters who participated in Syria’s 12-year conflict, also has different types of military drones.

Hezbollah fighters have been on full alert along Lebanon’s borders with Israel following last Saturday’s attack by the militant Palestinian group Hamas that left hundreds of Israeli civilians and soldiers dead.

      They’re already involved. Hamas doesn’t get their weaponry from elfs.

      Agreed, we should all stand aside and be quiet while they ethnically cleans Gaza. They are animals after all that deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth right.

        I hope this was meant to be sarcastic. If so it doesn’t have enough overly self-aware mockery of the position you’re aping to make it clear.

          Sadly, I thought the /s was obvious. Very sadly I am now seeing with over a million Gaza children now experiencing war crimes, I didn’t expect to see this being anything other than an obvious reprehensible situation. Anyone green lighting apartheid and etheric cleaning is a nazi. Hard stop. Fact.

            I thought the phrase “we should all stand aside and be quiet while they ethnically cleanse gaza” should’ve been enough as well, but the responses proved otherwise :/ It’s a shame there are people that will unironically say this.

          I am happy to take the upvote for my sarcasm/gaslight. As the husband of a Palestinian, I and am glad some people with a soul struggle to see ethnic cleansing as ok, Seeing Biden/ Cory Booker/ AOC/ Peloci green lighting genicide has jaded me.
