00:00Unfortunately, the Middle East region is literally sliding into the abyss of a new major war

00:08before our eyes, and the Security Council is just watching helplessly.

00:15The inhumane Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip continues, despite the demands

00:20of the overwhelming majority of the international community to stop it.

00:26The spiral of violence has predictably led to an escalation of the situation in the Lebanese-Israeli

00:31border area, in Yemen and the Red Sea.

00:35However, instead of using the possibilities of diplomacy, the authorities of West Jerusalem

00:41have made a clear bet on the forceful suppression of their concerns, and their American accomplices

00:49are playing along with them in everything, paralyzing the work of the Security Council.

00:55As a result, Lebanon has become the new victim of the Israeli military machine.

01:00After intensive shelling of Lebanese cities, the southern neighbor began a ground operation

01:05in this country.

01:07In addition, after a series of political assassinations, including the assassination of Hamas Executive

01:14Council Chairman Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, and a number

01:20of other leaders of movements opposing Israel, Iran has also joined the confrontation, having

01:26demonstrated exceptional restraint under the circumstances for two months.

01:31From the speeches of our Western colleagues, one gets the impression that the only problem

01:38facing the Security Council today is a response to Iran's missile strike.

01:45It is difficult to imagine what role the diplomatic process can play in such an assessment of

01:54the situation.

01:57As if all this happened in a vacuum.

02:04As if nothing is happening and has not happened in Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, Syria, Yemen,

02:10which has led to a new, extremely dangerous round of the growing Middle East conflict.

02:18Russia strongly condemns the attack on Lebanon and calls on the Israeli authorities to immediately

02:23cease military action and withdraw troops from Lebanese territory.

02:29We see no justification for new civilian casualties, which already number in the thousands.

02:35We express solidarity with the leadership and people of friendly Lebanon, which has

02:39been subjected to armed aggression.

02:41We express our sincere condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims.

02:46We demand the full and comprehensive implementation of Security Council Resolution 17-01, which

02:53contains both Israel's commitment to cease all offensive military operations, withdraw

02:59its armed forces from southern Lebanon and end its occupation of Lebanese territories,

03:04and Hezbollah's commitment to withdraw its units north of the Litani River.

03:09The Israeli side must strictly ensure the security of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon,

03:15which is exposed to unpredictable risks due to the Israeli invasion.

03:20We recall that threats to the lives and health of Blue Helmets may constitute a war crime.

03:27We also strongly condemn the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah.

03:32It is disgusting that more than 80 bombs weighing one ton were dropped on a residential area

03:39of the Lebanese capital to eliminate it.

03:42As a result, six multi-story buildings were destroyed.

03:47What kind of selectivity can we talk about in such circumstances?

03:51This political liquidation is fraught with catastrophic consequences for Lebanon and

03:56the entire Middle East.

03:58West Jerusalem could not help but understand this, but they deliberately went for an escalation.

04:05The Israeli side bears full responsibility for the subsequent escalation and its consequences,

04:11including for the population of Israel.

04:15In fulfilling its mandate to maintain international peace and security, the UN Security Council

04:21must force Israel to immediately cease hostilities.

04:27We are also obliged to make every effort to create conditions for a political and diplomatic

04:32settlement.

04:33In this context, we note Tehran's signal of unwillingness to further spiral the confrontation.

04:39Madam Chairperson, the UN Security Council has recently been frequently, and seemingly

04:45quite rightly, criticized for its inability to stop the violence in the Palestinian-Israeli

04:51conflict zone.

04:53At the same time, those who follow our work know very well that 14 of the 15 members of

05:00the Security Council would have long ago taken the necessary measures to force the parties

05:05to peace, thereby saving the lives of many thousands of innocent women, children and

05:10the elderly.

05:13And Israel would not be able to act so brazenly and disregardingly towards international law

05:19if it did not feel under the unconditional and all-weather protection of the United States.

05:25For the sake of its Middle Eastern ally, Washington has already used its veto power in the Security

05:31Council five times, and since the beginning of July they have been deliberately trying

05:36to lead us all by the nose, advertising their notorious Biden plan and their quiet diplomacy

05:41to conclude a deal between Hamas and Israel.

05:45Frankly speaking, all this creates a persistent impression that Washington is conducting these

05:51indirect negotiations with itself.

05:55It is therefore very symbolic that in order to eliminate the leader of Hezbollah and begin

06:00the most dangerous round of regional escalation was given by the Israeli Prime Minister from

06:05New York, having previously delivered an emphatically militaristic speech from the rostrum of the

06:10UN General Assembly.

06:12This is the kind of harmonious duo, dear colleagues, that we are actually dealing with.

06:17And of course, it is not only a question of moral and political support, but also of multi-billion

06:23dollar arms supplies, which Washington continues to supply to Israel as if nothing had happened.

06:29Despite the extermination of 42,000 Palestinians, of course, Washington does not need any mediation

06:36efforts and continues its inhuman campaign.

06:40As a result, the flames of the all-consuming conflict are spreading ever wider, engulfing

06:45more and more of Israel's neighbors in the region.

06:49The huge and most dangerous illusion is that Israel will be able to remain unharmed in

06:56this growing fire.

07:00This flame is already consuming the lives of the remaining Israeli hostages, and Western

07:05Jerusalem pretends that this is all part of their plan, while disregarding public opinion

07:11in Israel itself.

07:14Madam Chairperson, another dangerous illusion is that Israel, having significant military

07:19superiority, plans to deal with the crisis it provoked itself.

07:25It is becoming increasingly clear that the plans of the Israeli leadership are to provoke

07:30a direct conflict between its main regional adversary Iran and the United States at any

07:35cost.

07:37It is difficult to say whether Washington understands this, but so far this situation

07:41is playing out according to the Israeli plan.

07:45And if it reaches the final, the conflict may reach an unimaginable level of escalation,

07:50threatening not only the Middle East, but the entire world.

07:54We are convinced that it is in our common interest to prevent such a scenario.

07:59I would like to believe that our American colleagues will finally see the light, and

08:04they will fully realize their responsibility as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

08:09Madam Chairperson, we see the only way out of the situation developing in the Middle

08:15East as the use of all the extensive tools at our Council's disposal, which allow us

08:21to effectively end conflicts and implement existing Security Council resolutions.

08:30Any other initiatives will be temporary and will not bring the desired effect.

08:36We see no alternative to forcing the parties to the conflict to immediately establish a

08:41ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, accompanied by an exchange of hostages and prisoners and

08:46the organization of full and unimpeded humanitarian access to the enclave.

08:52This will lay the foundation for restarting the process of peaceful settlement of the

08:56Palestinian issue on an internationally recognized basis, based on the principle of two states,

09:02which we all consistently support.

09:05The second vector of our efforts is also obvious.

09:08An immediate ceasefire in southern Lebanon and, in general, the refusal of all direct

09:14or indirect parties to the conflict to use force, provocations and hate-inciting rhetoric.

09:20Madam Chairperson, today's news about the UN Secretary General being declared persona

09:26non grata in Israel is an unheard of and extremely boorish decision.

09:31This is a slap in the face not only to the UN, but to all of us.

09:36We call on the members of the Security Council and the members of the UN to respond to this

09:40outrageous step.

09:42I repeat once again, the Security Council has the necessary tools to solve these problems.

09:49The only question is whether there is political will.

09:52And we have it.

09:53Do you have it?

09:55We call on everyone to respond to this question as soon as possible.
