After this evening (Tuesday) the Russian Foreign Minister claimed that Israel was carrying out “political assassinations”, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan attacked Russia in the Security Council debate on the situation in the Middle East. Erdan slammed Foreign Minister Lavrov, who was present at the debate, that Russia is cooperating with Iran, And outrage at the council for not condemning the Revolutionary Guards enough.
“Iran’s drones are also being used against Ukraine in the Russia-Ukraine war,” Erdan said near the end of his speech. “Iran’s terrorism will reach everywhere, even Russia cooperates with Iran. If the council continues to focus on helping Gaza but ignores the Iranian threat – the common future for all of us will be very dark.”
“We live in an upside-down world,” added Arden. “18 years ago, Israel left Gaza to build trust with the Palestinians and ensure a good future for both nations. Instead, the Palestinians chose Hamas and since then, under the nose of the United Nations, Hamas has turned Gaza into a war machine. Hamas does not hide its goals to eliminate Israel, the UN knows this. In October, its intentions became a reality – 1,200 Israelis were murdered in one day, others were taken hostage.”
In the evening, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was interviewed by the CBS network and said that Russia is calling on Israel to stop the “political assassinations”. This, against the background of the latest attack in Damascus attributed to Israel. “If in response to terrorist attacks, which we strongly condemn, as we condemned the attack on civilians on October 7…”, Lavrov continued in the interview. “If in response to them they ignore the international humanitarian norms and apply collective punishment, then, I’m afraid, this is an invitation to more barbaric fighting methods on both sides. On all sides, we are convinced.”
