Why it matters
The ongoing geopolitical tensions, including the US-Israeli campaign against Iran, are cited by Lavrov as impacting global security structures. He linked the failure of the UN-endorsed peace plan on Gaza to the worsening situation in the West Bank regarding Israeli settlements. Lavrov also vowed that Russia's special military operation in Ukraine would continue.
