Putin on Middle East mess: Russia stands for independent Palestine, Israel ‘main beneficiary’ of Syria turmoil
“The resolution of Palestine issue can be attained only with the help of removing the root causes,” President Putin said at his year-end presser.
“The Security Council…opted in favor of a two-state solution: Israel and Palestine. Israel was established, Palestine is yet to be established. This is the issue, this is the problem, and Israel has been continuing its unlawful settlement activities to date. I’m not sure what goals Israel is pursuing in Gaza, but this merits only condemnation,” Putin emphasized.
