ISTANBUL, November 3. /TASS/. Israel could intensify its aggressive actions in the region after the next US presidential election, increasing the risk of the conflict spreading to other countries, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has warned.

“Israel’s main goal is to force the Palestinian people from Gaza to Egypt and from the West Bank to Jordan. Such a scenario would plunge the region into greater instability. Israel cannot limit itself to military responses after the US elections. (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu could take steps to destroy Iran’s nuclear capability. If this happens, the risk of the conflict spreading to other countries will increase. declared the senior diplomat in an interview with the Hurriyet newspaper.

According to Fidan, Israel continues to impose conditions during negotiations with the Palestinian movement Hamas. “This clearly shows that he is taking advantage of the negotiations to gain time and achieve his military objectives,” noted the Turkish Foreign Minister.

He also said that some progress had been made in ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, but that the Palestinian movement “finds it important to ensure that a ceasefire opens the path to a process that will irreversibly change the course of Israel’s actions.” “During our last meeting with Hamas, we discussed the situation on the ground, a possible ceasefire, the need for humanitarian assistance and the intra-Palestinian reconciliation process,” added Fidan.
