Putin’s direct speech: “And the Ukrainian crisis (Russian aggression against Ukraine – ed.) continues, and, unfortunately, we see a sharp escalation of the situation in the Middle East. I think that many will agree with me that this is a clear example of the failure of the United States policy in Middle East”.
Details: Putin accused the United States of allegedly “trying to monopolize the settlement” rather than looking for compromises acceptable to both sides.
The Russian President believes that the United States “promoted its own ideas about how this should be done and put pressure on both sides.”
Background:
On October 7, Hamas launched a massive rocket attack on Israel, and fires broke out in cities. As of the evening of October 8, the death toll in Israel as a result of the Hamas attack exceeded 700 people, and more than 2,200 were injured. On the night of October 9, Israeli aircraft continued to carry out strikes on the Gaza Strip in order to “destroy the capabilities of the Hamas terrorist group.” It was reported that the military bombed not only the houses of commanders, but the houses of all militants. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it attacked 500 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad targets overnight. The IDF said Israel had “severely weakened the capabilities” of the Palestinian militant group Hamas with air strikes in Gaza that continued into Monday morning. It was also reported that Israel had regained control of all areas on the border near the Gaza Strip. After this, Hamas said it was ready to negotiate with Israel. The Israel Defense Forces said it struck more than 200 targets in the Gaza Strip overnight on October 10.
