Subsequently, Hamas infiltrated the southern border areas, attacking military and civilian targets in Israel and taking hostages. In response, Israel launched Operation Swords of Iron in the Gaza Strip, taking control of border settlements, conducting airstrikes, including on civilian targets, and imposing a complete blockade, cutting off supplies of essential goods.Moscow has called on both sides to cease hostilities. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Middle East crisis can only be resolved on the basis of the United Nations Security Council's "two-state" formula, which calls for an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem.

Lavrov: West Pushing Middle East Towards Major War
Western politicians are provoking a major conflict in the Middle East, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a marathon event at the Znanie Society within the framework of the Russia International Exhibition-Forum.
Russia's foreign minister has asserted that Western nations are actively steering Middle Eastern countries toward a potential large-scale conflict. Lavrov pointed out that historically, such "Anglo-Saxon strategies" have precipitated waves of terrorism and forced the migration of countless refugees.
"Right now, we are witnessing how the Anglo-Saxons are literally pushing the Middle East to the brink of a major war," he said.
The consequences of this Western approach are
evident in Ukraine,
Iraq, Libya, and Syria, with the ultimate result being the
loss or weakening of statehood in these countries, the top diplomat emphasized.
"Other consequences include a surge in terrorism and extremism, shattered human destinies, broken families and the massive influx of refugees," Lavrov noted in his speech at the “Znanie” (lit. “Knowledge”) Society event.
The methods used by the United States and its
allies are sowing chaos in various regions of the world,
fueling conflicts between countries and peoples, exacerbating inter-religious and inter-ethnic tensions.

The West has grown accustomed to solving its own problems
at the expense of others and exploiting other people's resources and, contrary to global processes, hopes to rule the world by interfering in the internal affairs of states, Lavrov concluded.
In a recent flare-up,
the Palestinian-Israeli conflict reignited on October 7 after a major rocket attack on Israel from Gaza. Subsequently,
Hamas infiltrated the southern border areas, attacking military and civilian targets in Israel and taking
hostages. In response, Israel launched Operation Swords of Iron in the Gaza Strip, taking control of border settlements, conducting airstrikes, including on civilian targets, and imposing a complete blockade, cutting off supplies of essential goods.
Moscow has called on
both sides to cease hostilities. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Middle East crisis can only be resolved on the basis of the United Nations Security Council's "two-state" formula, which calls for an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem.
