Russian President Vladimir Putin has underscored the fundamental importance of establishing a fully functional Palestinian state.
"We have discussed the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone and our joint efforts to improve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza many times," the Russian leader said as he opened talks with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at the Kremlin. "But, of course, the fundamental issue remains the creation of a full-fledged Palestinian state that could coexist in peace and security with Israel."
Putin pointed out that this policy is the only path toward a sustainable settlement and lasting stability in the Middle East.
