RAMALLAH, Tuesday, November 7, 2023 (WAFA) – Palestine and Russia today called for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip.

Al-Sheikh said in a tweet, “We affirmed our common position of rejecting harm to civilians from all sides, an immediate ceasefire, opening safe corridors, and not displacing the Palestinian people from their homeland, and that a political solution based on international legitimacy and international law is the only way to end this conflict. We agreed on joint action at the international level, in order to achieve these combined goals.”
