Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the Palestinian issue had disappeared from international discussions, adding: “When discussing the Middle East, we must not forget that no one mentions Palestine anymore.”
Lavrov made the remarks during the plenary session of the International Forum on Collective Security, held in Moscow on Tuesday, November 10.
Trump’s plan remains unimplemented
The Russian minister said U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, which he described as having received extensive publicity and having been adopted by the United Nations Security Council more than a year ago, “is not being implemented by Israel at all.”
He added that Israel openly declares there will be no Palestinian state and that Palestinians should not dream of one. He said Israel is also failing to implement Trump’s plan, something Washington recently reminded the Israeli leadership of.

The Gulf remains far from a solution
Lavrov also addressed the Gulf region, saying that the situation there, which has drawn the attention of international experts and politicians, remains far from a solution.
That same day, Lavrov took part in a joint meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers, the Council of Defense Ministers and the Committee of Secretaries of the Security Councils of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, hosted by Moscow.
