The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan expresses concern about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan has expressed serious concern over the escalation of the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which has resulted in numerous casualties among civilians and has significantly complicated the situation in the entire Middle East.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls on the warring parties to take all necessary measures to end the armed conflict as soon as possible and to resolve the crisis through political and diplomatic means.

"We extend our deepest condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives in the recent events, and we wish a speedy recovery to all those who have been injured," the statement said.

We would like to remind you that on the morning of October 7th of this year, a rocket attack from the Gaza Strip targeted the territory of Israel. Subsequently, the Hamas movement announced the commencement of the Al-Aqsa Flood military operation against Israel. In response, the Israel Defense Forces launched the "Iron Swords" anti-terrorist operation.
Following these events, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed the Israeli population, stating that the situation in the country is not merely a military operation but a full-fledged war. According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, 436 people, including 91 children, have been killed, and more than 2,270 have been injured in Israeli attacks. Additionally, 15 Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire in the occupied West Bank since October 7th. Furthermore, the Israeli press has reported that 700 people have been killed, and more than 2,300 Israelis have been injured.
