Despite the distance to the point of conflict in the Middle East, the "flame" may engulf the whole world. The President of Belarus said this while answering the questions of journalists in late October. Third countries will be drawn into the conflict, and this does not automatically exclude the most undesirable scenario - the beginning of the third world war.

Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus:

“This is a disaster. The Middle East is a theater of war, and if it explodes, it will be hot for everyone. It will heat up us and all countries further north. God only knows how the situation will develop there. It's the Americans who are screwing up the whole mess there now.”

Alexander Lukashenko called the creation of the Palestinian state a way out of the situation. Since it was decided so in 1947. "To sit down and agree once and for all." As for the American trace in the conflict management - this is another attempt to prevent the multipolar world from strengthening. By helping in different parts of the world to escalate the war, official Washington hopes to preserve its own status as the world leader.
