The West considers Palestinians second class citizens and has no interest in helping them, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzya said. Lack of interest from the West has been one of the biggest hurdles in moving forward in the UN, he added. On Monday, Qatar announced that an agreement had been reached between Israel and Hamas on a two-day extension of the humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip on the same terms as the previous one. Last week, Qatar mediated a deal between Israel and Hamas on a four-day truce and the exchange of some of the prisoners and hostages, as well as the delivery of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. On October 7, Hamas launched a large-scale rocket attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip and breached the border, killing some 1,200 people and abducting over 200 others. Israel launched retaliatory strikes, ordered a complete blockade of Gaza, and launched a large-scale ground incursion into the Gaza Strip. The conflict has so far resulted in the deaths of over 16,000 people in the Gaza Strip.

Russia's UN Envoy Says West Sees Palestinians as Second Class Citizens
UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - Recently, the Middle East has been the focus of global attention due to the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. On October 27, Israel announced the extension of its ground operation in the Gaza Strip with the stated goal of destroying Hamas militants and rescuing hostages.
The West considers Palestinians second class citizens and has no interest in
helping them, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzya said.
"One, extremely unseemly fact has become clear: for the West, Palestinians are second class people, defending the interests of which they simply have no interest in doing," Nebenzya told the Security Council members.
Lack of interest from the West has been one of the biggest hurdles in moving forward in the UN, he added.
On Monday, Qatar announced that an agreement had been reached between Israel and Hamas on a two-day extension of the humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip on the same terms as the previous one. Last week, Qatar mediated a deal between
Israel and Hamas on a four-day truce and the exchange of some of the prisoners and hostages, as well as the delivery of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
On October 7, Hamas launched a large-scale rocket attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip and breached the border, killing some 1,200 people and abducting over 200 others.

The conflict has so far resulted in the deaths of over 16,000 people in the Gaza Strip.
