Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani emphasized Russia’s constructive position on the Palestinian issue, particularly amid the escalation in the Gaza Strip.
"I would like to point out Russia’s favorable stance in support of a just solution to the Palestinian issue, especially amid the recent developments in the Gaza Strip," the Qatari prime minister said at the Russia-GCC Ministerial meeting for Strategic Dialogue in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Thani noted Russia's "consistent position" on the need for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He also hailed Russia's position on the situation in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that Moscow supports a ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave, the release of hostages, the provision of humanitarian aid to the population and the prevention of a large-scale war in the region.
Lavrov arrived in Riyadh on September 8 to participate in the Russia-GCC Ministerial meeting for Strategic Dialogue. He is scheduled to hold a number of bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the event.
