Since the outbreak of war in the Middle East, anti-Jewish attacks in Russia have continued to increase. On this occasion, President Vladimir Putin plans to make a public statement on Monday evening. According to the Kremlin, the West is trying to use current events to divide Russian society.
Following the attacks on passengers on a plane landing from Israel, Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to hold a meeting on Monday evening to discuss the security situation and attempts to destabilize the West. Peskov said it was clear the riots were caused by foreign interference. The topic of the meeting, which will be attended by the government and representatives of the Russian security apparatus, is “the West’s attempts to use the situation in the Middle East to cause division in Russian society.”
“It is well known and obvious that yesterday’s events surrounding Makhachkala Airport were largely the result of external interference and influence. And it is clear that it is very easy for bad actors to take advantage of the situation and provoke it against the backdrop of television images showing such horrors in the Gaza Strip – the deaths of people, children, seniors, doctors and others and incite people,” Peskov explained.
Telegram channels in view
During a visit to the airport, the head of the Republic of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, spoke of a deliberate attempt to destabilize the situation in Dagestan. He accused troops in Ukraine of inciting citizens to religious hatred and violence through Telegram channels.

Dagestan in solidarity with the Palestinians
In the past, there have been repeated protests in the North Caucasus, including against the forced recruitment of civilians for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Melikov accused the “enemies of Russia” of trying to stoke tensions in the country. Dagestan’s leaders had expressed solidarity with the Palestinians, given the situation in the Middle East. At the same time, local authorities as well as Muslim and many other organizations criticized the violent protests.
20 injured, 60 people arrested
On Sunday evening, hundreds of people stormed the airport site of the city of Makhachkala, in the Russian republic of Dagestan.

According to authorities, 20 people were injured and 60 were arrested
