On November 2, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a telephone conversation with Foreign Minister of the Arab Republic of Egypt Sameh Shoukry, at Russia's initiative.
The discussion focused on the situation in the Gaza Strip. The parties noted that any violent actions against civilians, strikes on residential buildings and civilian infrastructure are unacceptable. They reaffirmed their shared support for an immediate, long-term ceasefire, consistent humanitarian access to Gaza, the provision of urgent assistance to all those in need, and the release of hostages.
From the Russian side, the urgent need to organise the evacuation of Russian nationals from the Palestinian enclave as soon as possible with the assistance of our Egyptian partners was emphasised.
