Impossible to settle situation that led to violence without resolving fundamental political issues regarding creation of Palestinian state;
The US has been catering for the humanitarian needs of Palestinians instead of providing for a fundamental solution to the Palestinian issue;
Civilian casualties must be minimized, children and women on both sides must be left alone, and expansion of the conflict zone could lead to severe consequences, including in the energy sector.

"This is 100% worrying ... There is nothing good. Naturally, when nuclear facilities come under fire, there are big risks for a dirty bomb. It is enough for a shell to hit a dry fuel storage facility," Chudakov said on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week, when asked if the IAEA has concerns about nuclear risks in the context of the Palestinian-Israeli escalation.
