Russian President Vladimir Putin has cleared his stance on the ongoing unrest in Israel and Palestine following Hamas attacks.
He blamed the United States for the crisis in the Middle East, stating, “I believe many would agree with me that it is a glaring example of the failures of US Middle East policies. They tried to monopolize the peace settlement but unfortunately paid no attention to searching for compromises that would be acceptable for both parties,” according to RT.
Putin also expressed concern about Washington’s pressure on both sides, suggesting it was an attempt to impose “unilateral solutions” without considering the core interests of the Palestinian people, including the creation of an independent Palestinian nation-state as outlined in UN Security Council resolutions.
