On November 7, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke by telephone with Minister of Civil Affairs of the State of Palestine, Secretary of the PLO Executive Committee and member of the Fatah Central Committee Hussein Al-Sheikh.
During the conversation, the ministers focused on the developments in the Palestinian-Israel conflict area, including the continuing large-scale armed confrontation in the Gaza Strip. Mr Lavrov emphasised the need for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further civilian losses, to expand humanitarian relief in the region and for the instant evacuation of Russian citizens from the enclave.
The Russian minister again reiterated support for an equitable solution to the Palestinian issue in line with the relevant international laws. They provide for the creation of an independent Palestinian state in the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem, which should exist in peace and security with Israel.
