Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova on Saturday evening issued a statement on the recent hostilities in Gaza.

In it, she underlined that, “Moscow is seriously concerned about the new wave of armed violence in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.”

According to Zakharova, Russia is following the war in Gaza and believes that it is “fraught with the renewal of full-scale military confrontation and further deterioration of the already deplorable humanitarian situation in Gaza.”

Placing the blame for the fighting squarely and solely on Israel, she claimed, “The Israeli Air Force’s airstrikes triggered another escalation on August 5, in response to which Palestinian armed militants launched a massive indiscriminate shelling of the Israeli territory.”

She added, “According to the latest information, Israeli attacks killed 10 Palestinians and left over 80 wounded.”
