MOSCOW, October 13. /TASS/. Russia hopes that all agreements on the Gaza Strip, reached during the Sharm El-Sheikh summit, will be brought into practice, with US President Donald Trump and regional leaders ensuring an immediate ceasefire, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a meeting with journalists from Arab countries.
He also said that once Trump’s Gaza plan is fulfilled, the creation of the Palestinian state should begin.
TASS has compiled the Russian foreign minister’s key remarks.
- Russia expects that all agreements on the Gaza Strip, reached during the summit in Egypt, will be fulfilled: "I hope that all agreements will be fulfilled even amid statements both from Hamas and from Tel Aviv that nothing is over yet and the crisis may resume."
- It is important that Trump and regional leaders "focus primarily on the necessity of an immediate ceasefire and the observance of the policy course that was agreed on for the withdrawal of Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip, the adjustment of humanitarian aid and, certainly, the restoration of this significant place on Earth which probably suffered more than other territories across the globe over post-war years."
