The United States and Israel are making concerted efforts to "hush up" the issue of establishing a Palestinian state, which is essential for regional stability, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reports following the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
"We discussed the Middle East settlement and reached a common opinion that it is impossible to ensure stability in this region of our Eurasian continent without the creation of a Palestinian state," - Lavrov said. - "This issue is being suppressed in every possible way by both Israel and the United States, which supports Israel in everything."
