Strong Warning : Unending West Asia Conflict Could Prove Disastrous, Russia Fears Israel Might Cease To Exist As A State
Alaudinov said Israel was seeking to widen the conflict and draw both the United States and the entire NATO bloc into the confrontation. He argued that such an escalation could ultimately work against Israel, leading to its disappearance as a state.

The ongoing conflict in West Asia could ultimately result in Israel ceasing to exist as a state, Lieutenant General Apti Alaudinov, deputy chief of the Russian Armed Forces’ Main Military-Political Department and commander of the Akhmat special forces unit, told TASS.
“We must realise that the war in the Middle East will only escalate,” Alaudinov said.
Alaudinov said Israel was seeking to widen the conflict and draw both the United States and the entire NATO bloc into the confrontation. He argued that such an escalation could ultimately work against Israel, leading to its disappearance as a state.
“I believe that is precisely Israel’s objective to ramp up the conflict as much as possible and drag both the US and the entire NATO bloc into it. They are good at this. Ultimately, they will overestimate their strength and cease to exist as a state,” he added.
The remarks were made as tensions and military hostilities continue to escalate across West Asia. One of the primary ongoing conflicts is the confrontation between the US and Iran.
