Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday there was a serious risk that the Gaza conflict will become regional.
Lavrov announced that Russia is in contact with Turkey to establish a system of guarantor states to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Lavrov called for any approach to be based on a balance of the interests of the parties, and not to impose the interests of anyone at the expense of the interests of others. It seems to me that the Turkish initiative is trying to ensure that his country is ready to cooperate in this initiative, he continued.
The widespread and unprecedented Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and the West Bank continues for the 13th day in a row with attacks, confrontations, and violent bombardment from aircraft, battleships, gunboats, and occupation artillery targeting homes, residential buildings, hospitals, and mosques, leaving thousands of martyrs and wounded, most of which women and children. Rescue teams are facing extreme difficulty in counting the number of martyrs who died as a result of the ongoing violent bombardment in several areas in the Gaza Strip due to the seriousness of the field conditions, the stifling siege on the Strip, and the cutting off of food, water, electricity, and fuel supplies, which threatens an unprecedented humanitarian and health crisis.
