Russia demanded that the fighting in Gaza stop in order to restart talks between israel and the Palestinians, citing the need to do so in order to reduce the possibility of a wider conflict and a rise in "terrorist activity". russia has charged over and again that the West and the united states do not see the necessity for an independent state for the Palestinian people. "The immediate end of hostilities in Gaza is the top priority right now. If not, there is a chance that terrorist activities will rise, radicalization will occur, and the war might spread further, according to Russia's foreign ministry.

Russia stated that world powers should try to prevent the settlement of areas of the West bank and the destruction of Jerusalem's holy sites. "It seems especially necessary to ensure inter-Palestinian national unity on the platform of the palestine Liberation Organisation, which provides for the recognition of israel and a negotiated solution," russia stated.

This comes as fighting has persisted in the Gaza Strip for the thirty-first day since Hamas began an unprecedented onslaught on israel on october 7, with the health ministry reporting that the death toll in the region has topped 10,000. Since the incident, over 1,400 people have died in israel, most of them civilians, and over 240 have been held captive by Hamas. According to Hamas, the Rafah gate, which connects the Gaza Strip with Egypt, has reopened to permit the evacuation of foreign nationals, dual citizens, and injured Palestinians.

Before it closed for the weekend, the crossing was opened for three days last week to allow hundreds of foreign passport holders and scores of wounded Palestinians to come through. According to news agency AFP, six ambulances taking injured Palestinians to hospitals arrived at the Egyptian side of the border.
