After Israel carried out an airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Syria, killing several of its generals, official Tehran promised to give a suitable and severe response soon. The Israeli press also reported on the possibility of attacks from the territory of Iran within 48 hours. But can Iran start a war against Israel?

The biggest protest since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas took place in Jerusalem. Organizers of the demonstration, which drew more than 100,000 people, are demanding the government's resignation and agreeing to a deal that would lead to the release of 130 Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip. Protesters plan four days of rallies and events across Jerusalem this week.

Turkish Trade Minister Omer Bolat announced that since October 7, trade between Turkey and Israel has decreased by 33 percent. "The government, state agencies, state companies have not done business with Israeli companies," the minister said.

The UN International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to ensure the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza and not to violate the rights of Palestinians. The International Court of Justice considers that the situation in Gaza has worsened since the ban on January 26, 2024, which requires new measures.

Turkey's Ministry of National Defense denied reports that it continued to export gunpowder, explosives, ammunition and weapons to Israel in January, saying only "shotgun spare parts and fishing equipment (harpoons and others)" were sold. "The Ministry of National Defense of Turkey does not conduct any joint activities with Israel, including cooperation in the field of military education, training and defense industry," the statement said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided not to send a delegation to the United States because he did not veto the UN Security Council resolution on Gaza. In turn, Israel stated that it will continue its attacks in Gaza despite the UN Security Council resolution.

The Canadian government continues to export military products to Israel, despite the parliamentary resolution. It was announced that the export will be completely stopped in the future.
