Putin’s Accusation: U.S. Role in the Escalating Israel and Hamas Conflict
Putin’s Accusations and Calls for Peace Amid Israel and Hamas Conflict
According to the source, Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly attributed blame for the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas to the United States characterizing it as a stark illustration of the United States’ failed Middle East policy.
During a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudani, Putin accused the U.S. of attempting to dominate the regulation of the Israel and Hamas conflict while disregarding the need to find compromises acceptable to both parties. He criticized the U.S. for pursuing its own ideas on how to handle the Israel and Hamas situation and pressuring both sides without considering the fundamental interests of the Palestinian people.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov in a statement on Monday emphasized the importance of achieving a peaceful resolution to the Israel and Hamas conflict as swiftly as possible. The conflict, which has resulted in a significant and rising death toll, has raised concerns that it may divert Western support away from Ukraine.

However on Tuesday, Dmitry Peskov countered Zelenskyy’s claims stating that they had no factual basis, as reported by Russian state news. Putin’s accusation against the U.S. adds another layer of complexity to the Israel and Hamas conflict highlighting the diverse international perspectives and geopolitical dynamics at play.
