This was reported by the Russian Foreign Ministry following a phone conversation between the two ministers.
"The parties highlighted the need to intensify international efforts to ensure the phased implementation of the agreement on ceasing hostilities in Gaza and exchanging detainees, as well as increasing humanitarian aid deliveries to residents of the enclave," the ministry said.
In addition to exchanging views on the situation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone, the ministers also touched on developments in Ukraine.
"In the context of the Ukrainian crisis, Sergey Lavrov shared Russia’s assessment of the latest developments related to the goals of the special military operation," the statement said.
