Russian President Vladimir Putin said that "the calls directed to the Palestinians to leave for Sinai are not something that can lead to peace," stressing that "Gaza is part of the historic land of Palestine."

Putin said in statements reported by the “Russia Today” website, this evening, Wednesday, regarding the calls for forced displacement launched by the Israeli occupation of our people from the Gaza Strip, “This is the land on which the Palestinians live, and this is their land historically. It was also supposed to establish an independent Palestinian state.” "Including Gaza. In my opinion, this is not something that can lead to peace."
