“Israel is not only committing genocide in Gaza, but it is now extending this war to the West Bank, Lebanon, and potentially other nations it deems as enemies which we cannot know or predict. The Netanyahu government continues to play with fire. It is endangering the future of the entire region to maintain its position. Everyone who remains silent on the Gaza issue, especially those who support Israel unconditionally, is under a burden. Israel's barbarity must finally come to an end.”

“The Gaza Strip has become the world's largest extermination camp. Israel has committed an atrocity that will outshine Hitler. Western leaders and organizations whose duty is to ensure international security have only watched this brutality from afar for almost 300 days. How many more children need to die to see that Israel's invasive policies endanger the entire region? Look, this is not a path that can continue. Israel is the only country in the region that seeks its security through aggression, massacres and land seizure acting like a terrorist organization. The lawless Israeli state is a threat not only to Palestine and Lebanon but to humanity as a whole, to the entire world at this point.”

“No state is safe unless Israel accepts international law and considers itself to be bound by it. A bare-knuckled Israel is a threat not only to Palestine or Gaza but also to global peace and humanity as a whole. What are you good for, the UN, if you cannot stop a genocide broadcast live in the 21st century. The United Nations was unable to protect even its own personnel or aid workers, let alone stop the genocide. Not only did humanity perish in Gaza, but so did the UN with its spirit.”

“The US side tried to convince Turkish officials to put more pressure on Hamas and make it release the captives. But the Turkish position was very clear on this matter. They said that the prisoner release should be mutual, where Hamas releases captives and Israel releases Palestinian prisoners. Turkey also asked for an unconditional ceasefire and said there should be an international mechanism to observe the ceasefire, which Ankara would be the guarantor for. But we haven't heard anything about a ceasefire from Blinken. He has been using the phrase humanitarian pause and the Turkish side has told him that this is not enough.”

“The next step is likely to be a flurry of behind-the-scenes diplomacy, and international pressure, to convince Turkey to quickly remove the roadblock. Sweden and Finland will seek to placate Turkey, but we can also expect the US and the EU to play a leading role in this pressure campaign. After all, both have some leverage over Turkey, be it through [Washington's] sale of military equipment or the [EU's] provision of aid as part of the 2016 migration deal. The most likely outcome remains Finland and Sweden joining the alliance very soon. Erdogan is a transactional leader, and the costs of blocking the two Nordic countries - deeply angering Western allies - would far outweigh the benefits in terms of domestic support. Erdogan also briefly blocked in 2009 the nomination of Anders Fogh Rasmussen as NATO's secretary-general, before relenting after receiving a prize in a high-level appointment for a Turkish official in the alliance. Since the rest of the alliance is welcoming Finland and Sweden with open arms, there is clear political will to overcome this temporary roadblock.”

“Turkish reservations have nothing to do with any sort of appeasement towards Russia. Turkey has always been strongly in favour of NATO enlargement, as seen with the Baltic states, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, as well as Slovenia, Slovakia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Croatia, Albania and even Georgia. However, the situation is now different. There is a very strong public perception in Turkey that Sweden is assisting Turkey's enemies, and this exerts huge pressure on the government.”

“Turkey has every right to block Sweden and Finland's ascension to NATO. However, such a position would be costly as NATO members would likely approach Turkey as a problem child moving forward.

“The PKK has been a security threat against Turkey since its foundation. Thousands of people - both civilian and military - lost their lives in the fight against the PKK. So the PKK, and any associated element, would be considered a crucial threat and Turkey expects its allies to understand the security concerns. Of course, Western nations' reluctance to see the PKK and YPG in the same basket is a problem for Turkey. Turkey expected its allies to see the close link between [the PKK and YPG] through the similarities in their organisation, structure and financial resources.”

“Russia has an interest to maintain its geopolitical clout with Turkey through energy interdependence. Also Russia wants to prove that she still can deliver on nuclear exports despite the sanctions. Ultimately, if the first unit is not ready in 2023, there will be huge disappointment from the Turkish side and that disappointment, most likely, will translate into Turkey's foreign policy approach to Russia.”

“The Akkuyu project is the first in the global nuclear industry based on a build-own-operate model. It means Russia is responsible for all capital expenses during the construction phase. With sanctions, this model is at risk because it is more difficult for Russia to allocate funding. There is now more pressure on its international reserves - half of them have been frozen - so whether Russia can continue to spend these amounts for a reactor in Turkey is unclear. Russia is likely to pressure Turkey to find local companies to take up to a 49 percent stake in Akkuyu.”
