Russia is closely following the reaction of Arab countries to the us-developed plan for a Palestinian-Israeli settlement.
This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
«We are closely monitoring the reaction of Arab capitals to the American initiative. So far, the incoming assessments are negative and skeptical for the most part, » the diplomat said, in particular, at a traditional briefing.
Recall that US President Donald Trump announced the details of the «deal of the century» on January 28.
According to the document, Jerusalem is recognized as the unified and indivisible capital of Israel, and Palestine becomes a fully independent, but demilitarized state, practically devoid of control over its borders.
As the future capital of Palestine, the plan proposes the village of Abu Dis in the Eastern suburbs of Jerusalem, located behind a security fence.
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas strongly rejected the us President's proposals.
