Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that it is uncertain how soon the conflict between Israel and Palestine can be calmed down, but emphasized that it could lead to significant problems. He made these remarks during his speech at the Russian Economic Week. Putin stressed the need to minimize civilian casualties among the peaceful population in both Israel and Palestine.
Previously, during his speech at the Russian Economic Week, Putin stated that the Palestinian issue lies at the heart of every Muslim. He underscored that Palestinians perceive this issue as an extreme manifestation of injustice. The Russian leader reminded that the decision to establish the state of Israel was accompanied by a decision to create a second sovereign state. According to Putin, resolving the situation that has led to an explosion of violence necessitates addressing fundamental political questions regarding the creation of a Palestinian state.
Earlier, Putin spoke for the first time about the war in Israel and advocated for the peaceful path to Palestinian independence.
