Escalation of the Middle East conflict has raised concerns in many countries, with Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan expressing cautious positions.

It turns out that small and medium-sized countries are all struggling to survive in the gap, and they dare not criticize the United States! Crown Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia and President Tokayev of Kazakhstan had a phone call, and neither of them dared to criticize the United States or Israel! On March 5th, the office of the President of Kazakhstan published an article stating that President Tokayev had spoken with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Both sides pointed out that the escalation of the Middle East conflict not only poses a serious threat to regional security and stability, but also to global security and stability.

The two leaders expressed regret that attacks are currently being carried out on the territories of countries not involved in the conflict, and at this moment, the Islamic community should show more respect and tolerance than ever before. Obviously, according to this press release, both parties focus on Iran's attacks on the territories of countries not involved in the conflict. Put more straightforwardly, what both sides agree on is: since Saudi Arabia has not attacked Iran, why does Iran attack Saudi Arabia and other countries?

As for the fact that the United States and Israel initiated the attacks first and violated international law, the two countries did not mention a single word. This statement is not to say that Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia are double standards, but it can only indicate that small and medium-sized countries are very cautious when facing a country as powerful as the United States, fearing to offend the United States and trigger retaliation from the United States. At present, Spain is not providing military assistance to the United States, and the United States has openly threatened Spain, claiming to cut off all trade relations. Obviously, small and medium-sized countries face a domineering United States, and can only survive in the gap, choosing to avoid trouble if possible, which is a true reflection of the survival situation of small and medium-sized countries.
