Kadyrov spoke out in support of Palestine

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, supported Palestine in the conflict between the Hamas group and Israel. He made his statement published on Telegram.

“I once again call on all Muslims, all citizens and our state to support the truth and stop this war. Or send us there as peacekeepers. We will determine, we will stop them. We will stop those who continue to fight. Long live justice,” Kadyrov said in a video message.

In the description of the video, he clarified that he supports Palestine and opposed this confrontation, which “unlike other conflicts can develop into something more.”

He also called not to touch the Akhmat Kadyrov mosque in the Israeli Abu Ghosh and the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Earlier, the media reported that the mosque named after Akhmat Kadyrov in the village of Abu Ghosh near Jerusalem was attacked by Hamas. Later TASS reportedthat the mosque was not damaged as a result of the shelling.

On the morning of October 7, Hamas began military operations against Israel. The militants attacked army border units and entered Israeli populated areas, where they captured an unknown number of hostages, both military and civilian. In response, the Israeli army launched Operation Iron Swords. The government announced that the country had entered a state of war.

In Israel, according to the latest data, more than 900 people were killed and over 2,500 more were injured. The Palestinian Health Ministry reported 576 deaths and more than 2,900 injured. The exact number of Israelis abducted is unknown, but Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen previously said that more than 100 people were taken captive by the militants. Reuters reportedthat Hamas has prisoners with dual citizenship, including Russian.
