MOSCOW, October 13, 2025 (WAFA) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called on Monday for the establishment of Palestinian state following US President Donald Trump’s summit on ‘ending Gaza’s war’.

Speaking during a meeting with Arab journalists in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated: “It will be necessary to move on to the creation of a Palestinian state,” as reported by the Anadolu Agency.

He emphasized that a long-term resolution to the conflict is only possible if UN resolutions on Palestinian statehood are implemented.

Lavrov added that Trump and regional leaders should prioritize "the agreed-upon withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, the establishment of humanitarian aid, and the restoration of this beautiful place on Earth."

He noted that Moscow will "facilitate in every possible way" the implementation of Trump’s plan and warned against attempts to alter its "fragile formulations."
