"We see the essence of this conflict, we understand that through the method of aggression, by conducting military operations, indiscriminately killing the civilian population, this situation will not only remain unresolved, but could also be exacerbated," Zakharova emphasized.
"They [Western countries] have been destabilizing it [the Middle East] for a long time. The difference now is that the countries of the region, I believe, have outgrown illusions and understand well that their stability, future, and happiness are in their own hands, not in the hands of those who promise much, to whom they once tried to delegate their fate, but in the end, they received the so-called 'waves of the Arab Spring,' which in reality turned out to be interference in internal affairs and a reshaping of the region. The countries of the region are now struggling to ensure that the [Palestine-Israel] conflict does not evolve into something global and irreparable. They understand the risks and are behaving responsibly," Zakharova stressed, answering a question about the risk of the Palestine-Israel conflict escalating and involving other countries in the region.
