Putin made the statement during a forum on Wednesday
Russian President Vladimir Putin is blaming the United States for creating an environment that led to the violent war between Israel and Hamas.
Putin made the comments during a forum with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Sudani on Wednesday.
During the forum, Putin said that the "problem" that Israel and the Palestinians are facing is the result of U.S. foreign policy in reference to settlements in Israel.
"Settlement mechanisms have been established, but the United States has neglected these mechanisms over the past few years and decided to regulate everything on its own, did not use these mechanisms and in recent years has relied on meeting the material needs of the population living in the Palestinian territories," Putin said.
"In fact, they tried to replace the solution of fundamental political problems with some material handouts. Of course, this is very important for people who have a low standard of living, it is important to solve socio-economic issues."
