President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin believes that the United States has ignored the mechanisms that could put an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Russian leader said this at the plenary session of the forum “Russian Energy Week”.
Vladimir Putin believes that the United States had all the tools and mechanisms to solve the Arab-Israeli confrontation. However, the Russian leader emphasised that Washington was intent on solving the problem between Palestine and Israel by its own methods, ignoring the variables already created.
“What is the problem as of today? Settlement mechanisms have been created, but the United States has neglected these mechanisms over the past few years and decided to adjust everything on its own, did not use these mechanisms and in recent years has bet on meeting the material needs of the population living in the Palestinian territories,” the politician reasoned.
The civil servant emphasised that the United States has tried to substitute the solution of fundamental political problems with “some material handouts”. According to the Russian president, there is a great need to solve the socio-economic problems of people who have a low standard of living. However, the politician emphasised that the Russian Federation has always insisted: it is not enough.
“Without solving fundamental political issues, the main one being the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, it is impossible to solve the problem as a whole. Nevertheless, the bet was placed on this very thing,” the Russian leader said.
The Russian president recalled that when the decision was made to create Israel, the formation of a sovereign state – Palestine – was also envisaged.
“Israel was created, as we know, but Palestine as an independent and sovereign state never took place due to various circumstances. Moreover, part of the land that the Palestinians have always considered to be ancestrally Palestinian has been occupied by Israel at different times and in different ways, but mainly, of course, with the help of military force,” the Russian president summarised.
In addition, the Russian leader criticised the actions of the United States, which is pulling aircraft carriers to the Middle East region. The Russian President stressed that it is necessary to solve the Arab-Israeli conflict in the process of negotiations, and not in the way Washington is demonstrating.
“I don’t understand why the United States is dragging aircraft carrier groups into the Mediterranean Sea there. One is there, they are announcing, I think, a second one. The point I don’t really see, that they’re going to bomb Lebanon or what? What are they going to do? Or are they just deciding to parrot someone? There are people there who are no longer afraid of anything,” Putin stated.
