Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that solving problems in the Middle East begins with dealing with Palestine and implementing UN resolutions in Lebanon: "In order to solve the problems in the Middle East, it is of fundamental importance to reduce tensions and to deal with the Palestinian question. Now they are trying not only to push it to the back of the international agenda but also to make all UN resolutions on the establishment of an independent Palestinian state ineffective. Russia and Iran strongly call for the implementation of the relevant resolutions as well as the resolutions of the UN Security Council on Lebanon. ".
