The Russian foreign minister says the escalation of the PalestinianIsraeli conflict proves that the current situation is not viable
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday (October 9, 2023) that the creation of a Palestinian state is the “most reliable solution” for peace in Israel.
The statement was made in a speech to journalists alongside Arab League SecretaryGeneral Ahmed Aboul Gheit, who visited Russia after the start of Hamas attacks against Israel on Saturday (October 7). The information comes from Al Jazeera and Tass.
According to the Russian chancellor, the creation of a “Palestinian state alongside Israel is the best solution to resolve the conflict” between the Jewish country and Hamas. “We do not agree with those who claim that security can only be achieved by fighting terrorism.”
“In addition to ending the fighting and resolving the problem of civilian casualties, it is also necessary to understand the reasons why the Palestinian issue has not been resolved for decades,” Lavrov said.

AboulGheit, Secretary General of the Arab League, visited Moscow at Lavrov’s invitation. The visit took place after the Hamas attack on Israel. In a statement, Lavrov said regional and international issues would be discussed, with a focus on the escalation in the Gaza Strip.
“We agree that recent developments in Gaza and the Palestinian territories increase the urgency of intensifying our foreign policy coordination. We argue that it is unacceptable to commit violence, cause harm, kill peaceful civilians or take women and children hostage.”
Aboul Gheit condemned the violence on all sides and called for a fair solution to the PalestinianIsraeli conflict.
“We had planned to discuss our cooperation today, including the upcoming ministerial meetings between Russia and members of the Arab League, but the increasing tensions between Israel and Palestine required changes in the agenda as the current situation in the conflict zone is not viable.” , locksmith.
