Russia is advocating for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict, as stated by the Kremlin.
The Kremlin has dismissed US President Donald Trump’s proposal to "take over Gaza," with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasizing that a two-state solution is essential for resolving the ongoing conflict.
During a meeting on Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump reiterated his belief that the two million Palestinians in Gaza should be permanently relocated to countries like Egypt and Jordan. He suggested that the US would “take over” the territory and spearhead efforts to rebuild after 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas.
According to the UN, around 92% of homes in Gaza have been either destroyed or severely damaged.
Moscow’s stance remains that the only viable resolution to the Middle East conflict is the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, as Peskov articulated during a press conference on Wednesday.
“This is the thesis that is enshrined in the relevant UN Security Council resolution, this is the thesis that is shared by the overwhelming majority of countries involved in this problem. We proceed from it, we support it and believe that this is the only possible option,” he conveyed to the media.
Peskov also pointed out that major Arab nations, including Egypt and Jordan, have rejected Trump’s resettlement proposal. He emphasized that Russia shares this position.
When asked to define what he meant by a “takeover,” Trump described his vision as a “long-term ownership position” that he believes could foster “great stability” throughout the Middle East.
Netanyahu has praised the proposal, claiming it “could change history.”
Nevertheless, the proposal has drawn considerable international backlash. Palestinian authorities have condemned it, stating that it breaches international law. Additionally, Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, as well as Türkiye, Germany, and China, have voiced their objections.
Russia has continually called for a de-escalation of the conflict and a revival of negotiations. The Kremlin has also been active in diplomacy, conducting talks between Palestinian factions and advocating for international mediation.
A ceasefire, largely facilitated by the US, was achieved between Hamas and Israel in Gaza on January 19, ending 15 months of conflict.
Recent updates from authorities in Gaza indicate that the death toll has risen to nearly 62,000, incorporating individuals who are missing and presumed dead.
