Russia is making every effort to prevent a major war in the Middle East — Putin – Russian Politics and Diplomacy

MOSCOW, November 5. /TASS/. Russia is making active efforts to prevent the conflict in the Middle East from escalating into a major war, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed at a ceremony to receive credentials from foreign ambassadors at the Kremlin.

“As the Israeli ambassador is present here, I would like to say that Russia is making active efforts to prevent the current aggravation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from turning into a major war in the Middle East,” Putin stressed.

He added that Russia believes that the only way to bring the parties back to the path of reconciliation and achieve a sustainable, long-term solution is through a universally recognized international legal framework.

According to Putin, the key condition for restoring peace in the region is the implementation of the two-state solution, as outlined in the Security Council resolution and approved by the UN General Assembly.
