Street Calls of the Week
Investing.com -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov described U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza as "the best that there is now ’on the table’" despite being ’general.’
"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 partially published on the Foreign Ministry’s website.
Lavrov noted the plan’s limited scope, saying, "In this context, at issue is only what will remain of the Gaza Strip. There is no reference to the West Bank."
The Russian diplomat characterized the proposal as "the best option in terms of Arab acceptability and ’non-rejection’ by Israel, which is how I would characterize Benjamin Netanyahu’s position."
The Kremlin has expressed support for Trump’s plan since its presentation last week and indicated it hopes for the plan’s implementation.
