Nikolai Patrushev: Israel's actions have led to a humanitarian catastrophe for two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Russian official also accused the West of planning to create instability in Central Asia and the South Caucasus.
Relations between Moscow and Tel Aviv are witnessing tension in light of the Russian positions denouncing the Israeli war on Gaza that has been ongoing for more than 4 months. The West is "wreaking havoc in different regions of the world" in order to maintain its dominance.
