Muhammad Mokaev has called for an end to the ongoing violence between Israel and Gaza militant groups in Palestine. Both countries recently entered into a ceasefire agreement to end sustained violence for three days, which saw multiple lives being lost as well as jeopardized.
Surging UFC flyweight contender Muhammad Mokaev took to Twitter to urge the two countries to figure out a peaceful way of ending the conflict instead of adopting violent measures and putting lives at stake. He also slammed the global media for its apparent reluctance to shed light on the ongoing situation in Israel and Palestine.
Mokaev wrote:
"So messed up what’s going on in Palestine, all media is quiet because Israel are involved! It’s 2022 I’m sure it is possible to make a deal and stop killing innocent children! People fighting for the land, the land where they gonna get buried in!"

One fan responded to Mokaev's tweet, pointing out that Ukraine is also facing a similar situation in their ongoing war with Russia. The individual also mentioned the ongoing conflict between China and Taiwan.
In response, Mokaev yet again stressed the need to end violence, claiming that the aforementioned countries could strike a deal between themselves to resolve the ongoing conflicts without going to war against one another.
He wrote:
"That’s why I’m saying it’s 2022 , I believe they can make a deal without killing innocent people.."
Another user dismissed Mokaev's views and suggested he just stick to fighting instead:
"Please just fight. Nobody cares about a fighters opinion. Just break faces and go home."
In response to @levin5_levin's suggestion, Mokaev politely doubled down on the importance of his initial statement:
"I will do that inside the cage. thanks for the advise but there's more serious stuff in the world than fighting!"
