“The settlement itself should be reached on universally recognised international legal bases, which directly envisages the creation of an independent Palestinian state coexisting peacefully with Israel,” Vladimir Putin said.
The head of state noted that Russia seeks to contribute to the stabilisation of the situation in the Middle East.
“We have always sought to make our weighty contribution to stabilising (the situation) in the Middle East. Therefore, from the very beginning of the escalation together with the BRICS members together with other partners actively engaged in efforts to resolve (the conflict),” the President added.
