Pro-Palestinian Protesters Cause Chaos at Dagestan Airport

Russian security forces removed a group of pro-Palestinian protesters from Makhachkala airport in Dagestan, Russia, prompting the closure of the airport and diversion of flights. The protesters were denouncing Israeli actions in Gaza. The airport will remain closed until the situation normalizes. Israel has urged Russian authorities to protect Israelis and Jews in their jurisdictions. Regional leaders and religious figures have called for calm. Russia's invitation of a Hamas delegation to Moscow has strained its relationship with Israel.
