The Russian leader made these remarks while holding a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Novo-Ogaryovo of the Moscow Region.
Russia is closely following the unfolding humanitarian disaster in Palestine with deep anguish and concern, Putin said, adding that the country has always advocated for a peaceful settlement to the Palestinian issue.
“We believe that in order to secure lasting and stable peace in the region, it is imperative to implement all UN resolutions, with the establishment of a full-fledged Palestinian state as a priority,” Putin said.
The Russian leader also expressed concern about the situation of the Palestinian population in Gaza, especially women, children and other vulnerable groups who have been targeted since October 2023, when a Zionist offensive began that has left nearly 40,000 dead and tens of thousands injured.
“We do everything we can to support the Palestinian people. As you know we have already sent some 700 tons of humanitarian aid,” Putin said, as reported by Uncensored Foreign Policy.
Abbas thanked Russia for its support and noted that Palestine will not accept the expatriation of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jerusalem.
“We hope that the Palestinian people will get their own state,” Abbas said, adding that the meeting with Putin was honest and open, and the discussions included the Gaza Strip and the actions of the United States.
