Lavrov: international mediators should join the discussion of the "deal of the century"

28 January 2020


International mediators should join the discussion of the American plan for a Palestinian-Israeli settlement, which is known as the "deal of the century", Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told today.


"We have to wait, of course, for the official publication of the text. I hope that it will be public and will not remain closed to the international community. And when such a text is published, perhaps the most important thing is to find out the positions of the parties, including, above all, the position of the Palestinians. Of course, I would like the Quartet on the Middle East, a mechanism that has not been used in recent years, to analyze this situation," the Russian Foreign Minister said.


Earlier, the US President Donald Trump said that the "deal of the century" would be presented to the public before the meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which will be held today at 20.00 MSK.
