Moscow is called upon to unite the efforts of all participants in the process of peaceful resolution of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. This is stated in the commentary of the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova in connection with the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Measures between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

“We stand for intensifying collective steps aimed at creating the necessary preconditions for resuming the peace process. We note the key role of regional players - Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Algeria, Turkey, the League of Arab States (LAS), - said Zakharova. - "The time has come to join forces. The Russian initiative, which was the focus of the meeting of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on July 18 in Moscow with the heads of diplomatic missions of Arab countries, Turkey and the Arab League, was aimed at developing consolidated approaches to the Middle East settlement - TASS note."

As the diplomat indicated, Russia intends to closely engage in the Palestinian-Israeli settlement and other conflict situations in the region, maintaining close contact with its Middle Eastern partners, including Palestine and Israel, and relying on such an important and proven asset as trust in the Middle East to Russian foreign policy.
