Palestinians thankful to Russia - Mahmoud Abbas

«This message contained a high assessment of the role played by Russia and its leadership for the sake of putting an end to the aggression against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip. We also reaffirmed the importance of the efforts that Moscow undertakes in the UN Security Council in order to finally get a resolution that will force Israel to end its military operations in the sector. In addition, we expressed our gratitude for Russia’s support to Palestine’s application on receiving the status of an observer-state in the United Nations Organization».
