Russia predicts that the Israeli plan to annex the West Bank will cause instability.
Russia has called for the resumption of "direct" negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis to find a solution to the conflict, predicting that the Israeli plan to annex the West Bank will cause instability in the Middle East region.
247 - The annexation of the West Bank would negate the prospect of achieving a two-state solution to the conflict, said the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The Russian government warned on Thursday (9) that the Israeli plan to annex territories in the Palestinian West Bank region will trigger a spiral of violence in the Middle East.
In a press conference in Moscow, the spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated that the intentions of the Tel Aviv regime would not only negate the prospect of achieving a two-state solution to the Palestinian conflict, but would also unleash "a new and dangerous spiral of violence in the area, inciting radical protests."
Zakharova said that Moscow advocates resuming "direct" negotiations between the two sides in the conflict as soon as possible, under the auspices of the United Nations and with the support of the Quartet (Russia, the United States, the European Union, and the UN).
The negotiations would seek a solution to the conflict based on UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Thursday that he would be ready to establish peace talks with Israel within the framework of international law and under the auspices of the UN, the European Union, the United States and Russia, as well as with the participation of other countries, according to [source missing].
