While the people of Gaza are busy cleaning up, Hamas and Israel are fighting for sovereignty over the interpretation. The terrorist organization blames Israel for the attack on the hospital in Gaza. Israel speaks of a misguided Islamic Jihad rocket.
The events are also an issue in Russia. Vladimir Putin uses the images for his own propaganda purposes.
And a Slavic studies professor also reveals his very own point of view on state television.
Both sides would be lying and the crimes committed by both sides could only be described as war crimes. There is no forgiveness for this.
According to the professor, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders are of the same ilk. For them, power is all that counts. Your own people don’t play a role.
However, the conflict in the Middle East could definitely play an important role for Putin.
After the attack on the hospital, he called for immediate negotiations between Israel and Hamas. He had already presented himself as a mediator before. For Putin the opportunity to emerge from his isolation.
He had previously held back on positioning. According to the Russian narrative, the USA is to blame for Hamas’ attack on Israel. According to Putin, their Middle East policy has failed.
The conflicts in Israel could play into his hands, as attention is now shifting from the Ukraine war to the Middle East. In the future, US arms deliveries could go to Israel and significantly less to Ukraine.
Presenting Putin as a mediator is likely to be another perfidious move by the dictator.
