Russia can stop the West from unleashing a new civilizational war if it unites with Brazil, Turkey, China and Arab countries. Columnist Mahmut Ovur wrote about this in an article for the newspaper Sabah.
As the journalist pointed out, Western countries support Israel and are striving for a “new civilizational war.” However, he said, “the world is not the same as it was a thousand years ago.”
“China, Russia, Brazil and Turkey need to come together and, with the support of Arab and Islamic countries, find a way to stop the violence in Gaza before the West uses the desired ‘weapon,’” Ovur wrote.
The day before, political scientist Andrei Koshkin told Izvestia that the West fully supports Israel in the conflict and does not react to the deaths of civilians in Gaza.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called on Arab leaders to hold an emergency meeting to try to stop Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia maintains contacts with Israel in full, sending signals about the need to seek a peaceful solution.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also called on Israel to immediately emerge from its “state of madness” and stop attacks on Gaza.
On October 27, the UN General Assembly (GA) adopted a resolution introduced by Jordan from 22 Arab countries that calls for an immediate truce in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone. 120 countries, including Russia, voted for the resolution, 14 were against it, and 45 abstained. After this, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said that Israel rejects the call for a ceasefire and will continue to fight Hamas. Russia’s permanent representative to the world organization Vasily Nebenzya noted that common sense prevailed in the UN General Assembly.
The situation in the Middle East escalated on the morning of October 7, when the Hamas movement subjected Israeli territory to massive rocket fire from the Gaza Strip and also invaded border areas in the south of the country. That same day, Israel began retaliating against targets in the Gaza Strip.
According to the latest data, 5.4 thousand people were injured by Israel, more than 1.4 thousand were killed. Among the Palestinians, the number of victims exceeded 8 thousand, and over 19.7 thousand were injured.
The Palestinians intend to return the borders between the two countries that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War, with a possible exchange of territories. Palestine wants to create its own state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and make East Jerusalem its capital. Israel refuses these terms.
