One of the key topics discussed was the Hamas-Israel conflict, which is intensifying in Gaza. Putin, in a rare visit to the Middle East, addressed the ongoing war and its potential to involve other countries, escalating tensions between Israel and Arab states.
Interestingly, despite Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it is actively engaging in discussions about the Gaza conflict, prompting questions about its involvement in campaigns against Israel and its Western allies for alleged genocide in Gaza. This raises the question of whether Russia, currently in conflict with the Western bloc over Ukraine, is adopting a contradictory stance.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, it has been working to strengthen economic and political ties with Iran, with both nations facing sanctions from the West.
Despite the ongoing conflicts, the role of the United Nations (UN) in the Middle East has been criticized as less proactive. The Office of the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO) officials have engaged stakeholders in an attempt to resolve the situation. However, the effectiveness of these efforts has been questioned, as the conflict continues to escalate, terming the UN’s role as more reactive than preventive.
