The plight of the Palestinian people cannot be disregarded, Russian President Vladimir Putin told the Russian Energy Week forum in Moscow on Wednesday, a day after his talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani. Muslims in the Middle East and elsewhere perceive what the Palestinians have endured for years as a gross injustice that had been “aggravated beyond belief.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Russian president said that a Palestinian state should have been created alongside the state of Israel back in 1948 but never was. “The Palestinian problem is in the heart of every person in [the Middle East] and every person practicing Islam,”<\/em> he told the forum.<\/p>\n

His words came amid an ongoing escalation around the Gaza Strip. A new conflict broke out after the Gaza-based Hamas militant group launched a massive attack on Israel, killing more than 1,000 people, mostly civilians. West Jerusalem responded with a massive bombing campaign against Gaza, which has claimed the lives of more than 800 people, according to the local health officials.<\/p>\n

The UN said earlier this week it would launch a probe into war crimes committed by both sides, adding that it already had “clear evidence”<\/em> suggesting that both Hamas and the Israel Defense Force (IDF) had violated international law.<\/p>\n

Putin blamed the escalation on Israel’s “settlement policy,”<\/em> which saw land being seized from Palestinians in the West Bank and handed over to Israeli settlers. The president also said that Washington has had a role in these developments since it neglected employing any real mechanisms to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and opted instead to only address the “material needs”<\/em> of the Palestinians with some financial and humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n

“They [the US] essentially sought to use handouts to substitute for a solution to the [Palestinian] people’s real problems,”<\/em> the Russian leader said. “We have always said that it would change nothing unless some fundamental issues are resolved,”<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n

The president also called on both Hamas and the IDF to “leave women and children in peace”<\/em> and avoid targeting civilians in their operations. “Russia is well aware that both Israel and Palestine [feel] really strong bitterness but one should strive to minimize civilian casualties,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Moscow has been calling on both sides to stop the hostilities and “condemned violence in any form.”<\/em> It also called both targeting civilians in military operations and taking them hostage “unacceptable.”<\/em> According to Russian diplomats, four Russian citizens were killed in the Hamas attack on Israel over the weekend and six more went missing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
