TASHKENT: President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on Tuesday announced Uzbekistan’s plans to allocate 1.5 million dollars to the UN Middle East Agency to provide aid to residents of the Gaza Strip.
The president said that Uzbekistan was sincerely sympathizing and extending condolences to all the families of the victims from the Palestinian and Israeli sides. It expresses firm solidarity with Palestinians and supports their right to establish an independent state in accordance with previously adopted resolutions of the General Assembly and the UN Security Council.
He said that further escalation of violence is fraught with large-scale destabilization of the global situation, involving new forces in armed confrontation.
Mirziyoyev added that all this can lead to unpredictable, tragic consequences that go far beyond the Middle East.
