russian foreign ministry spokesperson zakharova said at a regular press conference on october 2,russia calls on all parties to the conflict in the middle east to exercise restraint to prevent the situation from deteriorating further and avoid the region "slipping into the abyss of war."

zakharova said that russia is extremely worried about the dangerous escalation of the situation in the middle east and believes that such a disastrous situation is not in the interest of any country in the middle east. it hopes that relevant parties will use every possible opportunity to prevent this from happening.

zakharova said that russia believes that the many crises in the region are primarily caused by the unresolved palestinian-israeli conflict, and that a just solution to the palestinian issue is the key to an overall improvement in the situation in the middle east.

zakharova also said that a large part of the responsibility for the current deterioration of the situation in the middle east lies with the united states. the united states has for nearly a year prevented the united nations security council from passing a resolution calling for an end to military operations in the gaza strip and the provision of humanitarian assistance to the local people.

the situation in the middle east has been tense recently. on the 1st, the israeli army began to conduct "limited, localized and targeted ground strikes" against hezbollah targets in southern lebanon. on the evening of the same day, iran launched a large-scale missile attack on military targets in israel in retaliation for a series of recent israeli actions. israeli prime minister netanyahu later responded, "iran made a big mistake and will pay the price for it."
