President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East could lead to the outbreak of a third world war. According to the Belarusian leader, such a scenario is possible if the conflict escalates into a war between Israel and the United States against Iran, reports belta.by.
Lukashenko expressed the view that allegations of Iranian involvement in the October 7 attack by Hamas fighters are not based on facts.
“Nobody knows how events will develop. Even those who started this mess – the Americans – don’t know,” Lukashenko said, answering questions from journalists.
On the morning of October 7, Israel was subjected to a large-scale rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. The Israel Defense Forces said more than 3,000 rockets were launched. In addition, Hamas fighters infiltrated border areas in southern Israel, killing and taking many civilians hostage. In response, Israel launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
