The situation in the Middle East was discussed in the Kremlin at a meeting between the President and representatives of Russia's religious associations. It ended late in the evening the previous day. Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to the families of Israelis and citizens of other countries whose loved ones were killed in the 7 October attack, and also stressed that the fight against terrorism cannot be conducted on the notorious principle of collective responsibility. When innocent people are killed, thousands are left without shelter, water or medical care. This is a real humanitarian catastrophe, the head of state added.
