"I appeal to the leaders of Muslim countries — create a coalition and call on those whom you call friends, Europe and the whole West, so that they do not bomb civilians under the pretext of destroying militants," Kadyrov said.
"We support Palestine. And we are against this war, which, unlike other conflicts, can escalate into something more," he added.
Furthermore, Kadyrov offered to deploy Chechen units as potential peacekeepers, prepared to "restore order" and "counter any disruptive elements" in the Middle East.
