Putin and Netanyahu Hold Talks Amidst Gaza Crisis and Regional Concerns

A phone conversation took place between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin, addressing the ongoing tensions in the Middle East and the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Prime Minister’s Office of Israel confirmed the call, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also confirmed the discussion between the two leaders. The talks come shortly after the two leaders spoke last week about Syria and Iran. Netanyahu is showing an intent to engage in diplomatic efforts, communicating with various world leaders, as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has attracted the condemnation and pressure from the US and European nations.
