Lavrov warns Israeli settlements may soon make Palestinian state impossible
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the creation of a Palestinian state may soon become impossible due to Israel's expanding settlements.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that the expansion of Israeli settlements could render the creation of a Palestinian state nearly impossible. Addressing the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, Lavrov emphasized the urgent need to address the core issue of guaranteeing statehood for the Palestinian people, as outlined in numerous United Nations resolutions.
Despite the Security Council's approval of a peace plan for Gaza, peace remains elusive in the region. Lavrov pointed to the deteriorating situation in the West Bank, attributing it to Israel's ongoing expansion of settlement activities. He cautioned that if this trend continues, the very existence of a Palestinian state could be jeopardized due to the lack of sufficient geographical space.
