Military expert, former head of the Israeli intelligence service “Nativ” Yakov Kedmi and TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov held a skirmish on TV on the “Russia 1” channel regarding the evaluation of the operation carried out by the Israel Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip.
< p> It started when Vladimir Solovyov, speaking about the mass death of civilians in the Gaza Strip, declared that “the crimes of some do not excuse the crimes of others.” He added that “nothing can justify the death of so many children and women.”
To which Yakov Kedmi replied: “I can.”
Solovyev said that would never happen. Russia will not understand and accept collective responsibility.
Kedmi tried to explain his position, noting that “there is no collective responsibility” and women and children were “under fire from Hamas.”

“No, you are killing them,” Soloviev said, adding that the same thing is happening in Ukraine, when Ukrainians “try to hide behind civilians”, the Russian army does not attack them, sacrifices soldiers, but saves civilians.
To this, Kedmi asked not to teach the IDF how to fight.
Recall that Vladimir Solovyov previously apologized for the words of political scientist Yevgeny Satanovsky, which he said in relation to the Deputy Foreign Minister, the Minister of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Bogdanov, and the official representative of the Russian Ministry abroad Maria Zakharova. Then he said that he no longer saw an opportunity to continue professional communication with Satanovsky and decided to fire him from the Soloviev-Live channel.
