Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirmed that Moscow is receiving many messages indicating that the West, led by Washington, has recently been engaged in “hidden” projects to obstruct the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

Lavrov said during a press conference following the meeting of the “Russian-Arab Cooperation Forum”: “Unfortunately, today we hear a lot of rumors, and we receive reports from anonymous sources that our Western colleagues, led by the United States, are once again devising some kind of special project, the goal of which is to calm the situation.” The situation, one way or another, is to prevent unification between Gaza and the West Bank.”

He pointed out that "therefore, in essence, the goal is to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state and postpone all of this until a later time."

The Russian Foreign Minister added: “The main conclusion from the current situation on the world stage, which we share with our friends from the Arab League, is that this amounts to an invitation to create another crisis, another conflict.”

Yesterday, the American police arrested 60 pro-Palestinian demonstrators who organized an unauthorized demonstration inside the American Legislative Council to demand a ceasefire and the cessation of military aid to Israel.

For its part, Russia called for the implementation of the UN Security Council resolution, which includes the call to declare humanitarian truce periods in the Gaza Strip.

Clashes continue between the Palestinian factions and the Israeli forces penetrating the Gaza Strip on the 75th day of the war, at a time when the Security Council fails again to issue a ceasefire resolution and bring in aid.
