Russia Condemns Israel's Gaza Bombardment as Violation of International Law

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has criticized Israel's bombardment of Gaza, stating that it violates international law and could lead to a long-lasting catastrophe. Lavrov argued that responding to terrorism should not involve indiscriminate use of force against targets where civilians are present. He warned that destroying Gaza and displacing its population would have severe consequences for decades or even centuries. Lavrov called for a halt to the violence and the implementation of humanitarian programs to aid the population under blockade.
