MOSCOW, Saturday, October 28, 2023 (WAFA) - The Israeli aggression on Gaza runs counter to international law and risks creating a catastrophe that could last decades, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today.

Lavrov made the comments in an interview with the Belarusian state news agency Belta.

"If Gaza is destroyed and two million inhabitants are expelled, as some politicians in Israel and abroad propose, this will create a catastrophe for many decades, if not centuries," warned Lavrov.

"It is necessary to stop, and to announce humanitarian programmes to save the population under blockade."
