Israel is conducting “indiscriminate” attacks in Gaza that could lead to a sprawling war, according to Russian officials who aired the accusation as Russia launched a diplomatic intervention to halt Israeli attacks on Hamas.
Putin’s foreign policy adviser, Yury Ushakov, characterized those conversations as a “power surge” of diplomacy. Russia, having acquired a pariah status in transatlantic diplomatic circles due to the war in Ukraine, is making an apparent effort to lay the groundwork for involvement in any major diplomatic process in connection to the new war between Israel and Hamas.
“Considering what is happening in Gaza, there’s a possibility that the war and clashes might spread to other fronts,” Iran’s Raisi told Putin, per Tasnim News Agency. “In that case, it will be more difficult to control the situation.”“The President of Russia expressed his sincere condolences to the families and friends of the Israeli victims and stressed his total rejection and condemnation of any actions that result in civilian casualties, including among women and children,” he said.
Russian state media amplified the Syrian regime’s claim that Putin and Assad believe that Israel is perpetrating “forcible relocation” of Palestinian civilians, whom the Israel Defense Forces have urged to evacuate from northern Gaza.
