[Regnum] The decision of the Israeli authorities to expand the plan of the military operation in the Gaza Strip with the capture of the central region, which was previously the most densely populated, will worsen the situation in the region. This was stated by the Russian Foreign Ministry on August 9.

"It is expected that in the near future there will not be a single civilian left there. They will all be subject to forced expulsion," the ministry's website says.

The Foreign Ministry also pointed out that Tel Aviv does not hide its plans to occupy the entire Palestinian enclave. Russia condemns such decisions, as they will lead to an aggravation of the situation in the Gaza Strip, where a humanitarian catastrophe has already begun.

“It is obvious that this will significantly complicate international efforts to de-escalate the conflict zone, with serious negative consequences for the entire Middle East region,” the Foreign Ministry emphasized.

Russia continues to call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the release of all hostages and the restoration of unimpeded humanitarian access to the region. Moscow is also convinced that the conflict cannot be resolved without the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem, the ministry stressed.
That’s nice. It doesn’t matter, but at least you feel better for saying it, right?
On August 7, it became known that the Israeli government approved the decision of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to occupy the city of Gaza. It is planned to evict about 1 million Palestinians from it. Tel Aviv expects that the operation will take several months.
