Moscow, October 13 /Xinhua/ — Russia expects all agreements on the Gaza Strip reached at the "peace summit" in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to be implemented, and that US President Donald Trump and regional leaders will ensure an immediate ceasefire. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday at a meeting with journalists from Arab countries in Moscow.
"I hope that all agreements will be fulfilled, although we are hearing statements from both Hamas and Tel Aviv that not everything is over yet and that the crisis could recur," TASS quoted the minister as saying.
Sergey Lavrov believes the "peace summit" in Sharm el-Sheikh is the result of a compromise. "The initiators proposed a compromise, and now we must not tempt fate, but strictly implement everything proposed, which will help stop the bloodshed, resolve humanitarian issues, and begin the reconstruction of Gaza," he said, noting that it is necessary to begin developing a plan for the creation of a Palestinian state without delay.
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that the provisions regarding the West Bank in US President Donald Trump's plan to resolve the Gaza crisis must be specified. "We noted that Donald Trump's peace plan only addresses the Gaza Strip. It mentions statehood, but in rather general terms. These approaches must be specified, including determining what will happen in the West Bank," he said.
S. Lavrov emphasized that Russia, like the overwhelming majority of members of the international community, remains committed to UN decisions, which call for the creation of a full-fledged Palestinian state within the 1967 borders. –0–
