Russian, Palestinian Leaders Hold Talks on Palestinian-Israeli Settlement: Kremlin

Russian President Vladimir Putin and visiting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas discussed how to settle the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Kremlin said in a statement on late Monday.


"The situation in the region was far from satisfactory. Still, everyone knows in detail everything taking place on the Palestinian-Israeli settlement track," said Putin.

Russia has always supported the Palestinian people and "we will work out a joint approach to solving this complicated issue," added Putin, Xinhua news agency reported.

Abbas said that a series of moves taken by the United States in recent months shocked the Palestinian people. Palestine refuses to cooperate "in any way" with the United States in its status as a mediator in the Middle East peace process.

Palestine does not oppose having a mulilateral mediation format concerning the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in which America can only serve as part of the group of mediators, he added.
