MOSCOW, Oct 9, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - The Kremlin said Monday there was a "high risk" of a third party entering the conflict between Israel and Hamas, after the US said it was moving warships closer to the country.

"The risk of third forces becoming involved in this conflict is high. It is very important to find ways as soon as possible to move towards some kind of negotiation process," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying by the TASS news agency.
