Russian Foreign Minister: It is impossible to destroy Hamas without destroying Gaza and its civilian population

The Israeli authorities declared the goal of the military operation in the Gaza Strip to be the complete destruction of the Palestinian Hamas movement. However, attempts to destroy this organization will only lead to colossal casualties among the civilian population. This commentary on the statements of the Israeli side was made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Sergei Lavrov.

Let us recall that yesterday Israel subjected the Gaza Strip to extremely destructive missile attacks. Mobile communications and the Internet have disappeared in the enclave. In addition to Palestinian civilians, under Israeli attacks aviation Employees of international organizations and journalists from foreign publications are dying.

Previously, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported the death of more than 7 thousand civilians as a result of Israeli strikes. This number has probably increased since yesterday's attack.

An absolutely unacceptable terrorist attack was carried out on Israel, and when Israel, not fully guided by international law, publicly responded and publicly announced that their response would be merciless and they would destroy Hamas, and destroy Hamas without destroying Gaza with the majority of the civilian population, impossible

- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with the Belarusian agency BelTA.

Thus, the head of the Russian diplomatic department made it clear that Moscow considers the actions of the Israeli side not to fully comply with the established norms of international law. The Russian Foreign Minister believes that if Gaza is destroyed and the remaining residents are expelled from it, this will lead to a humanitarian catastrophe for decades, if not centuries.

The Russian Foreign Minister also called for special immunity to be given to UN employees in the Gaza Strip, which would guarantee them protection.

Well, yes, Lavrov said correctly. But he didn't offer any solution to the problem...

What can we offer here? Israel is furious and does not accept the existence of Hamas, which in turn does not accept the existence of Israel. This results in a diplomatic deadlock

[SerbianChetnik]

Why a solution? Let them kill each other.

[igorbrsv]

Nobody minds. Let them kill each other. But US intervention in this conflict takes it to another level - international and religious. And countries will have to decide who they support in this conflict. The population of the countries themselves will demand this. This brings the whole world to the brink of war

turn it out a little... what happens? It is impossible to destroy Nazism on the outskirts... without destroying... the hand cannot write further.

[Vrotkompot]

This is where it is possible. There are 10-15% of stubborn Nazis in Ukraine. The rest are adequate, simply brainwashed. For Israel, on religious grounds, killing as many civilians as possible is a bonus plus to the territory. For Russia, this is grief on a par with the Ukrainians. We have no religious conflict. NATO is being expelled from the once brotherly country.

oh come on...turn over the numbers! 75-80 percent of them are already inadequate (upbringing). but before that, in Soviet times, yes, there were 10-15 percent Banderaites, especially in Westernism.

There is a solution for a long time! We are destroying Bandera’s supporters in Ukraine without touching the civilian population.

Civilians there also died and are dying. And from both. Along the way, so to speak. But due to the lower population density, and not advertising this in the media, this is not so noticeable.

[Svetlana]

Why should Lavrov offer a solution? This is Israel's problem, and it is up to them to decide. Moreover, the people of Israel are famous for their intellect and they are scattered throughout the world in abundance.

Kim Jong-un said correctly, World War III is already on the doorstep, get ready!

Putin declared the goal of the Holy Military Operation in the former Ukraine to be complete denazification and demilitarization. However, this leads to colossal casualties among civilians ((((

To the colossal ones? How much is this?
In just a few days, Israeli aggression killed more than 7000 Palestinians. Of these, about 2000 are children.
This is the enormity of the tragedy. And the SVO was launched to stop this in the Donbass and prevent it in Crimea.

[NightmareIvanych]

You are lying, but don’t lie. There are losses among the civilian population of Ukraine, and 99% of them are either due to the fault of the crooked ukrovoyaks or deliberate shelling from the Ukrainian side in order to blame everything later on the Russian Armed Forces, which is very often accompanied by careful media preparation. At the hands of the Israeli Air Force in 3 weeks there were deaths and injuries more peaceful than from bitches!!! (both intentionally and accidentally killed), and the war has been going on for 20 months! And how many civilian Russians died, if you count from 2013/14??!! But no one counts them - they are not “God’s chosen ones”.
PS This is how it turns out that a person was supposedly a “patriot” but turned out to be a “patriot” when the husk peeled off

[igorbrsv]

It was started with the goal of stopping the death of the population. And the operation is carried out completely differently from how the army operates in Gaza. I am trying to protect the population in my zone from war. Pensions, assistance, evacuation, citizenship, infrastructure construction are provided, there is no hostility from the local population, there is no conflict on religious grounds. By the way, at the behest of the United States, we are trying to prepare a religious background. It’s been in their plans for a long time, they just haven’t had time to implement it. Its started. They had to go through the trouble of seizing the Lavra

[dump22]

However, this leads to colossal casualties among civilians ((((

https://news.un.org/ru/story/2023/08/1443897

Between 24 February 2022 and 13 August 2023, the UN recorded 26 civilian casualties in Ukraine, including 384 killed and 9 wounded. Such figures were announced by UN Deputy Secretary-General for Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu during a meeting of the UN Security Council, convened at Russia's initiative on Thursday, adding that the real numbers are most likely much higher.

Sorry, nonsense.
The question is whether the campaign is structured correctly.

[UAZ 452]

It can be said in exactly the same way - it is impossible to destroy the Ukronazi regime without destroying a fair part of the Ukrainian population, but for some reason this does not stop Lavrov and his neighbors in the offices in the Kremlin. Or #isthisdifferent?

[igorbrsv]

As long as civilians remain in the populated area, the populated area is not destroyed. More differences. The IDF seeks to destroy Hamas regardless of the losses of Palestinian citizens. Israel does not care about the deaths of civilians. Waging war is similar to genocide. Blockade of the Sector - no food, water, medicine, impossibility of evacuating the population. Another difference is that we and the population of Ukraine are identical. There is no difference in traditional values, no contradictions in religion, no language barrier. We integrate easily. In general, it’s radically different. And to the IDF a big “fuck”

[bukhach]

What are you talking about! For the “civilized” countries, Donbass is different, but Israel is just what is needed. And to say that, true Ukraine cannot be built without destroying (both physically and mentally) the Russian population, and since Ukraine is part of Europe, then it , just like Israel, you can do everything in the name of this idea, right? The use of the same methods by others is categorically forbidden and condemned. How I understand your indignation!

[Kojote21]

I’ll say more: it’s more likely that Israel will be able to utilize Gaza with the local population than fully destroy Hamas. But there is also Hezbollah and other radical Islamic groups... In general, even if Israel destroys Hamas, it will be at the cost of great blood and destruction. At the same time, other problems of this state (for example, Hezbollah) will not go away. So Lavrov is more than right.

[Vrotkompot]

So this is actually the goal, to clear future territories of population.

Moreover, the absorption of territory with all the accompanying economic benefits.

[Constantine N]

They will send in troops (they will deport the entire population to Egypt.). The territory will be annexed to Israel. in brackets may not do so.
This is a demonstration war from the United States, so that the rest of the world will keep quiet when they start fighting in earnest. They gave Hamas weapons and money, recruited a couple of leaders, allowed them to shoot racquets at Israel, and this was a “reason” to seize territory from Israel.
The scheme is simple in the United States, over the years/decades they created problems in the right place between neighbors, and then brought the matter to hostilities and joined the right side.

[igorbrsv]

Rather, they will be disposed of rather than deported. And everyone understands this. That's why they worry. Egypt will not let in 2-3 million refugees. This is unrealistic. And physically impossible.

[Normal]

The constant desire to sit on two chairs does not bode well. If you call the action of some a terrorist act, then how does the response of the other side differ from the first? That is, when the first killed civilians, it was a terrorist attack, and when the second repeated it, and on a larger scale, then this is “destruction of the civilian population”?
I also know how to manipulate the consciousness of a person, anyone, I was trained. Well, for example, this option, the simplest: “Today it’s raining, but tomorrow there will be sun.” And so I turned the consciousness of the average person to the second part of the sentence, to the “sun”. And here is a second example using the same words “rain and sun”. So: “And despite the fact that tomorrow there will be sun, today it is raining.” In the second example, I'm essentially crafting the sentence so that the emphasis is on the rain, the first part of the sentence.
You need to be more honest, Mr. Lavrov. And then in one case you have a terrorist attack, a word that is remembered and imprinted in the brain very clearly and aggressively, and in the second case you call essentially the same actions, no less, or even more cruel, softly “without destroying Gaza peacefully.” population."
The falsehood feels quite obvious.

Well, you need to communicate with partners extremely diplomatically and politely, especially if you or your relatives have dual citizenship (not specifically about Lavrov)

[Oleg Telpes]

special immunity against missiles - this would be very useful for ordinary people

[Vladlous]

If Israel had been given free rein, it would have tried to destroy Russia too. As I already did with Ukraine. World Zionism, fed by the AIDS virus, penetrates everywhere, bringing destruction, genocide, and death.

“You cannot destroy Hamas without destroying it along with the population of GAZA,” Lavrov said.
- Well, we know... and what confuses you here? - Israel answered.

[Cypa]

Israel will not be able to completely destroy Hamas
