Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in an interview published on Wednesday, said U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for peace in Gaza may be general in approach, but remains the best proposal “on the table” for now.
“U.S. President Donald Trump proposed his 20 points which contain the word ‘statehood.’ But this is all drafted in quite general terms,” Lavrov told Russia Today television in an interview published in part on the Foreign Ministry’s website.
“In this context, at issue is only what will remain of the Gaza Strip. There is no reference to the West Bank. But we are realists. We understand this is the best that there is now ‘on the table’.”
The plan, he said, was “the best option in terms of Arab acceptability and ‘non-rejection’ by Israel, which is how I would characterize Benjamin Netanyahu’s position”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
