Saudi FM says “some of our Western interlocutors are saying things in public that they are not saying in private”.

But Barak Ravid, Israeli reporter at Axios, claims more than one U.S. official told him in recent weeks that "the Saudis say in private they want Israel to destroy Hamas".

“The press conferences the Saudis are doing in Washington and the tours around the world are spins for domestic consumption.”

The US has been consulting with Gulf allies about potential military action against Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels in response to their increasingly brazen attacks on ships in the Red Sea, Bloomberg reports.

The talks are at a preliminary stage and both the US and partners still favor diplomacy over direct confrontation.

Deputy US National Security Adviser Jon Finer said Thursday the Biden administration has “not ruled out the possibility of taking military action” against the Houthis.

But the focus for now is on assembling a maritime coalition to secure the Red Sea — a conduit for 12% of world trade and the bulk of Middle East energy supplies to Europe.

The Houthis would not have been able to carry out the attacks without “significant” military and intelligence support from Iran, he said.

Deputy Israeli Mayor of Jerusalem, Arieh King:

If it were up to me, I would bury them alive with D-9 military bulldozers and call them ants.

They are not human beings, not even humanoid animals. They need to be treated as such. They are Muslim Nazis.

What do you think should be the punishment for the hundreds of Amalekites (the people described in the Torah as the enemies of the Israelites), the Muslim Nazis?

Al Jazeera Istanbul Bureau Chief Abdulazim Mohammed:

Erdogan is the only president in the world who was able to call Israel a terrorist state.

He is the only one who described Netanyahu as a criminal and a butcher who must be tried.

He said it and repeated it every day. “We do not care about your opinion about Hamas, which is a resistance movement, not a terrorist movement.”

Erdogan, the president who received the Hamas leadership in light of the current crisis. Who else can do it?

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has met with the Hamas leadership three times since the beginning of the crisis. Hakan Fidan is a man who moves silently and has done a lot for the benefit of Gaza that has not been announced, and the Hamas leadership is the best person to talk about this.

The Director of Turkish Intelligence (MIT) has been in constant communication and coordination with the Hamas leadership since the beginning of the war.

Hamas leadership and cadres manage political and media work from Türkiye with an open roof and under direct orders from Erdogan.

Turkish President Erdogan:

In Europe, which is marketed as the cradle of Human Rights, there have been nearly 500 attacks in which the Holy Quran was burned. These vile attacks were carried out under police protection.

Migrant Muslims are undoubtedly the most victimized by xenophobic, racist and fascist practices.

Islamophobia and xenophobia are at the top of the list of threats to human rights in Western societies.

(Western countries) have legitimized, condoned and encouraged anti-Islam and anti-Muslim acts under the pretext of freedom of opinion.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Unfortunately, the ceasefire in Gaza was rejected only with America's veto in the UN. By the U.S. alone. Is this justice?

A fairer world is possible, but not with the U.S.
