On November 27 at 12:00 noon Moscow time, the Valdai Club hosted an expert discussion dedicated to the Asian perspective on the Middle East crisis.
The current conflict in the Gaza Strip has been the focus of attention of the Valdai Club experts since the very beginning. In the first days after the escalation began, there was a discussion about the causes and consequences of military action. A month and a half later, Israel and Hamas finally agreed on a truce and the exchange of some hostages from the Gaza Strip for Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli prisons. However, the conflict is unlikely to end, especially in light of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's promises to wage war until Hamas is completely destroyed and all the hostages are returned.
