Israeli Ambassador to the Russian Federation Alexander Ben Zvi said that he does not see the intention of neighboring states to aggravate the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but radical groups are trying to do this. The diplomat talked about this in an interview RIA News.
According to Ben Zvi, there are many different groups around Israel in solidarity with Hamas. They are “slyly” trying to make the situation worse, as they say.
The ambassador expressed the opinion that there is no country neighboring Israel that wants to escalate the conflict. He does not think that Lebanon and Syria are trying to worsen the situation, so the problems that arise as a result of Israeli retaliatory attacks will fall on the shoulders of the governments.
Ben Zvi noted that the Israeli government is in full control of the situation. According to him, Israel is ready for any attack and will always respond.
Previously US Secretary of State Antony Blinken statedWashington intends to take active initiatives to deter any possible attack against Israel.
