There is no justifying terrorism, Kremlin reiterates
“As regards Gaza, we have also repeatedly said that it is facing a humanitarian crisis that is of concern almost the world over,” Dmitry Peskov added
Russia still thinks that no manifestations of terrorism can be justified, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
“Terrorism, in any of its manifestations, cannot be justified. This is absolutely in harmony with our consistent position which has been repeatedly voiced by Russian President [Vladimir Putin],” Peskov said, commenting on the latest escalation in the Middle East.
“As regards Gaza, we have also repeatedly said that it is facing a humanitarian crisis that is of concern almost the world over,” the Russian presidential spokesman added.
Tensions in the Middle East flared up again on October 7 when Hamas militants launched a surprise incursion into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian movement described its attack as a response to the aggressive actions of Israeli authorities against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City. Israel declared a total siege of Gaza and started carrying out strikes on the Palestinian enclave, as well as on certain areas in Lebanon and Syria. Clashes are also taking place in the West Bank.
