White House National Security Council spokeswoman, Adrienne Watson on X, formerly Twitter condemned the protest.
Watson, “The United States vigorously condemns the anti-Semitic protests in Dagestan, Russia.
The US unequivocally stands with the entire Jewish community as we witness a worldwide surge in antisemitism.”
Earlier Sunday, the information minister in Dagestan’s neighbour Chechnya, Akhmed Dudayev, warned on Telegram against “provocations” and called for calm in the face of rising tensions in the Caucasus.
The Dagestan government posted on Telegram appealing to those involved to stop their “illegal acts” despite their anger over the “inhumane massacre of a civilian population — the Palestinian people”.

“At the same time, we urge residents of the republic not to succumb to provocations of destructive groups and not to create panic in society.”
Sergei Melikov, the republic’s governor, posted on Telegram later Sunday saying: “All Dagestanis empathise with the suffering of victims by the actions of unrighteous people and politicians and pray for peace in Palestine.
“But what happened at our airport is outrageous and should receive the appropriate assessment from law enforcement. This will be done.”
