Israel continues to develop plans to continue settlement activities in the West Bank, even in the face of a pandemic, the Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya stated at a meeting of the UN Security Council.


"Unfortunately, reports indicate that even the coronavirus does not prevent the development of plans for the continuation of settlement activity, the demolition of Palestinian real estate. The clashes that lead to casualties among the Palestinians do not stop", the diplomat said, in particular.


Moscow, according to Nebenzya, considers "it is  critically important the parties do not take provocative actions, unilateral steps, especially now".
