November 26, 2023 - In a stark declaration highlighting the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for immediate action to alleviate the suffering of the region's inhabitants. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has exacerbated an already precarious situation, leaving thousands displaced, injured, and without access to basic necessities.
President Putin expressed deep concern over the devastating consequences of the conflict, emphasizing the tragic loss of life, the mass displacement of civilians, and the urgent need for medical care amidst a severe shortage of resources. He particularly lamented the plight of children, many of whom have been subjected to life-saving surgeries without anesthesia due to the dire conditions.
The Russian leader also criticized the United States' approach to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, characterizing it as "infeasible and counterproductive." He advocated for a united international effort to de-escalate tensions, cease hostilities, and pursue a viable political solution that addresses the underlying grievances and aspirations of both sides.
President Putin underscored the potential role of the BRICS countries and regional partners in mediating the conflict and facilitating a lasting peace agreement. He emphasized the importance of preventing further involvement of other states in the conflict and safeguarding the fragile interreligious harmony in the region.
