During a phone call on Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the extraordinary escalation of the war on Gaza, according to the Kremlin.

In a statement, the Kremlin explained that the two leaders discussed in detail issues related to the "unprecedented escalation", in particular, the ongoing aggression against Gaza. 

The Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that the ongoing Israeli genocide, on its 77th day, has killed over 20,000 martyrs and wounded 53,320 Palestinians, 70% of whom are women and children.

The statement explained that Putin made it clear that Moscow would continue its shipment of essential goods to Gaza and divulged how Russia will continue to actively help to de-escalate the war and ensure the continuous delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need.
 
"The Russian side expressed support for the efforts made by the Palestinian leadership led by Mahmoud Abbas."
 
The leaders also stressed the urgency of putting a stop to the bloodshed in the strip and resuming the political solution process.

Furthermore, Putin reiterated Abbas' offer to visit Russia at a mutually convenient time.

During a plenary session of the Russian-Arab Cooperation Forum in Morocco, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov pointed fingers at unnamed "external forces" on Wednesday for trying to take advantage of the war on Gaza to open the door for a wider war.

"It has become obvious that some external forces are seeking to exploit this new flare-up in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to further their interests and ignite a regional war," he said, adding that a much bigger conflict will ensue, dragged on by the United States and its allies.

Lavrov blamed the West for the two decades of instability in the Middle East, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands, alongside the displacement of many others. 

This follows a condemnation by Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia, who declared that the US stands as the sole state opposing a humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
