The foreign ministers of Russia, Iran and Turkey called on Tehran today not to target “innocent civilians” in Gaza, the Palestinian enclave that is being bombarded by Israel in retaliation for Hamas’ unprecedented attack on Israeli soil.
The heads of diplomacy of Russia, Iran, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan met in Tehran today to discuss the situation in the Caucasus. However, the situation in Gaza was also in the spotlight. “They underlined the need to immediately stop the targeting of innocent civilians,” according to the joint statement they issued after the meeting.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov argued that unilateral actions to resolve the Middle East crisis could worsen the situation and accused the US of not offering any new ideas. “The more such initiatives (including the US) we have, the greater the risk that the crisis will intensify,” Lavrov said, according to the Russian Interfax agency.

The US stopped the work of the “quartet” on the Middle East and “at the moment there is no other body that would be acceptable to all sides. If (US Secretary of State) Anthony Blinken has any bright idea about it, we don’t know it,” he concluded.
