AhlulBayt News Agency: President Vladimir Putin of Russia says the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza has nothing whatsoever in common with the war in Ukraine.
Speaking at a news conference in Moscow Thursday, the Russian leader said Israel’s brutality in the besieged Gaza Strip – in its third month now – has sparked a disaster on a scale incomparable to the “special operation” Moscow launched in Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
“Everybody here and around the world can see and look at the special operation and at what is happening in Gaza and feel the difference.”
“But there is nothing like this in Ukraine,” Putin stated.
The Russian president referred to remarks by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres who described the Gaza Strip as the “world’s largest graveyard for children.”
“This is an objective assessment, what can I say here,” Putin said.
He further said his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan is playing a leading role in resolving the situation in Gaza.
“He is, of course, one of the leaders of the international community who pays attention to this tragedy and does everything to ensure that the situation is changed for the better in order to create conditions for long-term peace.”
The Turkish president has repeatedly said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must be tried at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes against the Palestinians.
Israel has massacred nearly 18,800 people in Gaza since it launched its barbaric war on Gaza since early October. Two-thirds of those martyred in Gaza are women and children.
The regime has also cut access to basic supplies, such as water, electricity, and fuel in Gaza. Shortage of medical supplies and food has left 2.3 million Palestinians at risk of starvation.
The Palestinian Foreign Minister, Riad al-Maliki, told a UN meeting in Geneva on Tuesday that Tel Aviv has been using starvation as a weapon of war against the population of Gaza.
