The 16th summit of the BRICS grouping of developing countries in Kazan, Russia, will address the dangerous situation caused by Israel’s atrocities in Gaza. The leaders from countries including Iran, China, Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, and Saudi Arabia are set to discuss ways to stop the Israeli war machine amidst ineffective UN Security Council measures.
Recognizing that the escalating security situation in the region poses serious risks, member states are eager to prevent an all-out war that could have devastating economic outcomes, especially affecting China. The potential conflict in the Middle East threatens global stability, and BRICS has the opportunity to influence peace with the help of its influential members, such as China and Russia.
Iran, emphasizing its commitment to peace in the region, stands ready to defend itself if necessary. Russia, as summit host, has expressed willingness to mediate conflicts and prevent further escalation. The responsibility falls on influential nations like India, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt to promote stability and deter dangerous warfare orchestrated by Israel. With the UN’s ineffectiveness evident, BRICS has a crucial role to play in averting a humanitarian crisis and safeguarding peace.
