Putin Holds Phone Conversations with Middle Eastern Leaders to Address Israeli-Palestinian Violence
In a recent statement issued by the Kremlin, it was announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin had engaged in telephone conversations with several Middle Eastern leaders. The discussions primarily focused on the escalating Israeli-Palestinian violence and its dire consequences.
Expressing deep concern, the statement highlighted the significant increase in civilian casualties and the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. Urgency was stressed in reaching a swift ceasefire to ensure the prompt delivery of essential aid to those in need.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza was also a topic of consultation during the phone calls. Putin attentively listened to the opinions and evaluations that emphasized the urgency of addressing the pressing humanitarian needs in the region. It was underscored that the blockade on Gaza must be lifted promptly to facilitate the urgent delivery of medicine, food, and other vital products. Moreover, there were serious apprehensions about the conflict potentially escalating into a regional war.
During the discussions, Putin strongly condemned the violence targeting innocents. He emphasized that such actions were absolutely unacceptable and decried the prolonged stalemate in the Middle East peace process as the primary cause of the unprecedented escalation in tension. Putin reiterated that the Palestinian issue had long been recognized and should be resolved based on international law. He reaffirmed his commitment to restarting the political process, which would ultimately lead to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state living in peace and security alongside Israel.
The statement concluded by acknowledging that Putin’s principled stance aims to achieve a long-term and equitable solution to the Palestinian question. It highlighted the need for a political resolution based on international legal frameworks, in order to bring stability and lasting peace to the region.
As tensions continue to rise in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, President Putin’s engagement with Middle Eastern leaders demonstrates Russia’s commitment to addressing the situation and working towards a peaceful resolution. The international community eagerly awaits further developments and hopes for a successful cessation of violence and a path towards sustainable peace.
