The destruction of the Gaza Strip and the forced displacement of 2.2 million people will cause a catastrophe that will last centuries. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who, in an interview with the Belta news agency, stated that “if Gaza is destroyed, if 2 million residents are expelled like some political leaders in Israel and abroad, this will create a catastrophe for many, many decades, if not centuries.”
Sergei Lavrov then added that “of course we have to stop. And we must announce humanitarian programs to save the population that is under siege: no water, no electricity, no food, no heating, none of that.” Russia, he explained, maintains contacts with Israel. “We are sending signals to the Israelis, we maintain full contacts with them, our ambassador communicates with them regularly, we are sending a signal about the need to seek a peaceful solution and not to complete the announced scorched earth strategy in Gaza”, Lavrov he said.
