During a phone conversation with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Russian President Vladimir Putin voiced concerns about a sudden worsening of the situation in besieged Gaza, the Kremlin announced on Tuesday.
According to the Kremlin, the leaders showed “deep concern over the growing number of civilian casualties and the catastrophic deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip”.
According to the statement, Putin and Erdogan also talked about Israel’s “unacceptable” strikes on residential neighborhoods and places of worship.
They were focused on a two-state solution and claimed that the “positions of Russia and Turkey practically coincide”.
According to Israeli sources, at least 1,400 people were killed when Hamas terrorists invaded Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7. The majority of the victims were civilians who were shot, disfigured, or burned to death on the first day of the raid.
According to the most recent toll from the Hamas health ministry in Gaza, over 5,700 Palestinians—mostly civilians—have perished throughout the Gaza Strip as a result of constant Israeli shelling carried out in reprisal for the attacks by the Palestinian Islamist militant group.
Putin demanded on Monday that humanitarian aid be allowed “unhindered access” to Gaza.
Along with Iranian and Arab leaders, the Russian president has also had conversations with Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel.
