In the context of the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin advocated for the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state as the crucial solution. He also addressed recent events in Dagestan and developments in the Middle East during a meeting with intelligence and security leaders. President Putin expressed concerns about attacks on a passenger plane in Dagestan, attributing them to Ukrainian social media and Western intelligence agencies. He urged regional leaders to take decisive action to protect Russian security forces and uphold the nation’s Constitution.
Regarding Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip, President Putin criticized the targeting of civilians instead of pursuing the true culprits, emphasizing the tragic impact on innocent people. He then turned his attention to the role of the United States in Middle East conflicts, suggesting that American policies often contribute to instability in the region. Putin argued that the U.S. benefits from global chaos and discredits those seeking to end the violence, even undermining the United Nations.
