Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which like Palestinian militant groups also vows Israel’s destruction, praised the operation by Hamas inside Israel, according to Arab media. Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah said it served as a warning against recognising Israel.

“It sends a message to the Arab and Islamic world, and the international community as a whole, especially those seeking normalization with this enemy, that the Palestinian cause is an everlasting one, alive until victory and liberation," Nasrallah said in a statement.

A group of Arab countries, led by the United Arab Emirates, opened diplomatic relations with Israel in 2020, and since then, Saudi Arabia has held talks with the U.S. about also normalizing its relationship with the Israeli government.

    They don't embargo food imports but that's besides the point. No matter how bad any proposal is, you can still work with it. Reject it, negotiate, work on it. At no point is kidnapping civilians and killing the rest an answer since violence begets violence and they have significantly smaller stones to throw. Hamas is doing nothing else other than media campaign. Kidnap people, force Israel's hand, when other people get hurt people like you crawl out to call them genocidal and what not. Cycle repeats.

    Just look at what Hesbolah has said… this attack is a warning to all those who look to normalize relations with Israel. Meaning if you want peace you will get killed. There's no room for negotiation, they only want death of all Israelis.

    Hamas ans Hesbolah are not marked terrorist organization on a whim… you know.
