Georgia clearly expressed support for Israel after the attack began. “I am deeply concerned about the latest escalation of the situation in Israel and the loss of innocent lives. Georgia expresses full solidarity with the State of Israel at this difficult moment. Terror and inhumanity should have no place in our modern world,” President Salome Zurabishvili wrote on her social media pages. (translation by the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent). “I condemn the terrorist attack on the State of Israel and Israeli citizens, the attack on the lives and serious injuries of many people. I sincerely sympathize with the government and people of the State of Israel and wish a speedy recovery to all those affected,” Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili wrote on the social network. The "Caucasian Knot" previously reported that the working group of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis on interparliamentary relations with Israel condemned the Hamas attack. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry called for de-escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone and expressed condolences over the deaths of civilians in Israel and the Gaza Strip. The reaction of the Azerbaijani authorities to the situation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone was commented on by the author of the blog “Wind from Absheron” on the “ Caucasian Knot ”. “National Azerbaijani support for Israel has been going on since Yasser Arafat passionately kissed the destroyers of Azerbaijan. Since then, we have been on the side of the Jews, and the religious factor does not matter in completely atheistic Azerbaijan. The Muslimism of the Palestinians in this case even harms the Palestinians, since they are connected with Iran, and we know well how Iran supported the separatists in Karabakh. Therefore, Azerbaijan is on the side of Israel, and we don’t give a damn about who started there first and what they once chopped off from whom,” he wrote in the publication “Azerbaijani Interest in Victory Israel". |
