The second topic at the International Forum sparked intense debates as nations discussed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and global nuclear policies. The USA took a strong stance against Russia, leading to a heated exchange. China claimed it was supporting Israel in the conflict, a statement that the USA denied, emphasizing its own aid efforts to the Gaza Strip. Russia accused the USA of secretly contributing to war crimes in the region, while the USA responded by pointing out Russian violations in Ukraine. The clash grew more intense when Saudi Arabia questioned the USAs decision to send weapons to Israel, criticizing its involvement in the violence affecting innocent civilians in Palestine. 

Ukraine focused on its determination to regain control of its territories and defended its past decision to give up its nuclear arsenal, stating that nuclear weapons would not have changed the current situation. 

 In another discussion, Sweden reaffirmed that it had stopped producing nuclear weapons in 1978 and clarified its balanced stance of supporting both India and Pakistan in the past, advocating for nuclear equality. 

The Russian Federation firmly denied targeting power plants and emphasized its efforts to keep risks to a minimum. Throughout the discussions, Russia remained defiant in the face of accusations, passionately defending its actions. The session revealed stark differences among nations on how to handle these conflicts and nuclear policies, with the USA and Russia dominating the contentious debate. 

Overall the opening speeches were all interesting and heated but these were the highlights. 

The forum’s discussions were marked by intense disagreements, especially between the USA and Russia, as well as contrasting positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and nuclear safety.
