CURRENT SITUATION IN MIDDLE EAST SERVES AS EXAMPLE OF US POLICY FAILURE: PUTIN

Thu 12 October 2023:

Amid the spiralling violence, and as the blame game for the intelligence failure which allowed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad militants to infiltrate the border between Gaza and Israel picks up steam, Russian President Vladimir Putin described the developments as a clear sign of the failure of the US policy in the Middle East.

“The Ukrainian crisis continues, and, unfortunately, we see a sharp escalation of the situation in the Middle East. I think that many will agree with me that this is a clear example of the failure of the policy of the United States in the Middle East, which tried to monopolize the settlement, but, unfortunately, was not concerned with finding compromises acceptable to both sides, but, on the contrary, promoted its own ideas about how it should be done,” Putin said as he met with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Al Sudani in Moscow.

Putin argued that Washington had attempted to monopolize settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, focusing on promoting its own ideas and putting pressure on both sides rather than finding acceptable compromises.

He also underscored that Washington’s actions failed to take into account the “fundamental interests of the Palestinian people,” in reference to the need to implement decisions by the UN Security Council on the creation of an independent sovereign Palestinian state.
