Moscow treads lightly in Gaza

... solution to the Palestinian issue. While the population of the Arab and Islamic world has expressed outrage at Israel’s actions in Gaza, commentators in the media point out that most Arab governments are taking a more cautious stance. The official Russian response to the steep escalation of the situation in Palestine stands between neutral and a somewhat half-hearted wait-and-see. In a July 18 interview with Russia 24, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared that President Vladimir Putin, in a recent conversation with US President Barack Obama and Israeli ...

Palestine Today and Tomorrow: Russia's Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

... now it seems unlikely because the Israeli government keeps building new and expanding the existing settlements. There is no doubt that it is necessary to foster the unification of the West Bank with Gaza and revitalizing the Fatah-Hamas peace talks. Russia could assist in this process as we need a united Palestine. In fact, the Palestinian lack of unity undermines its legitimacy in negotiations and feasibility of building a state in absence of the Gaza Strip. Do you think Palestine has been affected by the Arab Spring? What was its impact on Palestine’s ...
