US Trying to Monopolize Mediation Efforts in Palestinian-Israeli Settlement - Putin
13:43 GMT 21.11.2023 (Updated: 15:51 GMT 21.11.2023) On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin participated in an extraordinary online BRICS summit on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The situation in the Gaza Strip shows that the United States is trying to monopolize the mediation functions in the Palestinian-Israeli settlement, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during an extraordinary
BRICS summit on the conflict.
"All these events are, in fact, a direct consequence of the United States' desire to monopolize the mediation functions in the Palestinian-Israeli settlement and its blocking of the activities of the Middle East Quartet of international mediators," Putin said.
Vladimir Putin commented on mass displacement of the local population and the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
"The death of thousands of people [in the Gaza Strip], mass displacements of civilian population and the humanitarian catastrophe that has broken out cause great concern," Putin told the BRICS extraordinary summit on the situation in the Middle East.
"Participation of colleagues from the Middle East in today's meeting, who have received the invitation to be full members of BRICS this year, is especially important. I want to use the moment to note their efforts on the normalization of the situation, and in particular I mean the "peace summit" in Egypt and the extraordinary Islamic summit in Saudi Arabia," Putin also said.
It is important to prevent the geography of the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict from expanding and to preserve the fragile interfaith peace in the region, Vladimir Putin said.
"The most urgent task is to achieve a truly long-term and sustainable ceasefire," Putin added.

Proper humanitarian pauses are required to ensure the safe release of hostages from the
Gaza Strip, Putin said.
"I would like to emphasize that such humanitarian pauses, or better, of course, a full-fledged ceasefire, are necessary to continue efforts to release hostages and evacuate civilians and foreign citizens from the Gaza Strip," Putin stressed.
Due to the sabotage of UN decisions, more than one generation of Palestinians has been brought up with a sense of injustice, Putin added.
"Because of the sabotage of the UN decisions, which clearly provide for the creation and peaceful coexistence of two independent and sovereign states,
Israel and Palestine, more than one generation of Palestinians has been brought up in an atmosphere of injustice shown to their people. And the Israelis cannot fully guarantee the security of their state," Putin said.
Vladimir Putin commended the urgent convening of the BRICS summit on important international issues, a practice that was introduced by South Africa.
"The new format of emergency online meetings of leaders, proposed by President [of South Africa Cyril] Ramaphosa seems very promising. Moreover, this concerns not only the Middle East settlement, but also other topical issues on the global and regional agenda," Putin told the BRICS extraordinary summit on the situation in the Middle East.
It is important to prevent the Israel-Palestine conflict from becoming a regional one, Putin said.
Russia will initiate contacts on the Palestine-Israel settlement during its upcoming chairmanship in BRICS, Putin said.
"We consider it extremely useful to continue the discussion within the framework of BRICS on the further development of the Palestinian-Israeli confrontation. If there are no objections, dear colleagues, then during the upcoming Russian presidency in the association next year, we will initiate possible contacts, including via video link, on this issue," Putin said.

BRICS Joint Communique on Gaza Strip
The BRICS countries called for humanitarian truce between Israel and the Gaza Strip leading to a cessation of hostilities during an extraordinary summit on Tuesday.
“We called for an immediate, durable, and sustained humanitarian truce leading to a cessation of hostilities,” BRICS said in a joint communique.
The
BRICS leaders also reiterated commitment to the peaceful resolution of all disputes and differences and declared their support to the peaceful settlement of crises.
“Acts of violence aimed at Palestinian and Israeli civilians were condemned, including war crimes, indiscriminate attacks and targeting of civilian infrastructure, as well as all acts of provocation, incitement, and destruction …. We stressed the need to pursue accountability. We must ensure that independent and transparent investigations are conducted in accordance with international standards,” the joint communique read.
The BRICS leaders also voiced concern over escalation of violence and deterioration of situation in the Middle East.
“We condemned any kind of individual or mass forcible transfer and deportation of Palestinians from their own land. Many Leaders reiterated that the forced transfer and deportation of Palestinians, whether inside Gaza or to neighbouring countries, constitute grave breaches of the Geneva conventions and war crimes and violations under International Humanitarian Law,” the communique said.
21 November 2023, 14:56 GMT
The BRICS leaders also said that it is important to prevent the spillover of the crisis in the region, and called on countries that have influence on the parties of the conflict to use it to “work towards this objective.”
On October 7, Hamas launched a surprise large-scale rocket attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip and breached the border, killing more than 1,200 people and abducting over 200 others in neighboring Israeli communities. Israel launched retaliatory strikes and ordered a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip, cutting off supplies of water, food, and fuel.
