– International News – Tasnim News Agency According to “Tas” news agency, Russian President Vladimir Putin at the extraordinary meeting of BRICS leaders on Tuesday evening, The international community wanted to join the efforts of all societies to reduce tension in the Middle East. He said: “We call for the joint efforts of the international community with the aim of de-escalating tensions, establishing a ceasefire and finding a political solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the member states “BRICS and the countries of the region can play a key role in this.”

Putin emphasized the similarity of the BRICS members’ positions on the issue of resolving this conflict and noted: “It is noteworthy that all the BRICS countries agree on the need to collectively reach a long-term and stable solution to the long-standing problem.” Palestine and Israel have a similar stance. And this was evident during the voting in the United Nations General Assembly on the draft resolution in favor of establishing a humanitarian ceasefire. It deepens

The President of Russia stressed that the human tragedy that occurred in the Gaza Strip causes deep concern. He said: “The death of thousands of people, the mass expulsion of civilians and the humanitarian disaster that has erupted have caused deep concern. Many children also die during the attacks. This is a terrible situation. When you see how children are operated on without anesthesia, human emotions will certainly be aroused. Other countries are very important to the war in the Middle East and any expansion of the geography of the conflict, as well as maintaining the fragile peace between religions.

The Russian President reminded: “The current human tragedy in the Gaza Strip is a direct consequence of the US’s desire to monopolize mediation initiatives in the Palestinian-Israeli settlement and to block the activities of the Middle East Quadrilateral Group.” Therefore, history has clearly proven the unacceptability and ineffectiveness of the exclusive efforts [of the United States] to cut the “Palestinian knot”. The establishment and peaceful coexistence of two independent states – Israel and Palestine – has caused more than a generation of Palestinians to grow up in an atmosphere of injustice, and Israel cannot fully guarantee its security.”

During his speech, the Russian president also thanked his colleagues in the Middle East for their efforts to reduce tensions. Putin said: “I would like to take this opportunity and respectfully mention the efforts of all friends to normalize the situation, especially considering the holding of a peace meeting in Egypt and an emergency Islamic meeting in Saudi Arabia.”
