Moscow: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called Russian President Putin on the phone expressing his dissatisfaction with Russia’s stance once morest Israel in the UN etc. Netanyahu said any country faced with criminal terrorist attacks like they experienced would do the same as Israel. Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that it also strongly criticized cooperation between Russia and Iran.
At the same time, Russian Finance Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Israel’s collective punishment of the Palestinian people in Gaza cannot be justified, citing the attack by Hamas on October 7. He also asked the international team to monitor the situation in Gaza. Russian President Putin said that the failure of US diplomacy in the West was the cause of the Israel-Hamas war.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, said that while Israel’s airstrikes continue to wreak havoc in Gaza, the Qatari-led mediation efforts are continuing without giving up hope for a good outcome. He was speaking at the first session on ‘What next for the Middle East’ at the Doha Forum which started on Sunday.
“In the current situation, the mediation effort cannot be abandoned. Meanwhile, continued Israeli aggression is making the task difficult. Qatar is committed as a mediator to facilitate the release of the hostages and a complete end to the war. The mission is continuing with international partners including Egypt and the United States. At the same time, the same approach to the mediation mission is not evident from both the parties’ – he clarified.
