The Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia discussed with the Ambassador of Lebanon the situation in Gaza and Yemen. The Russian Foreign Ministry also noted that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict could develop into a crisis of regional scale.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at an open debate of the UN Security Council that the situation on the Lebanese-Israeli border is explosive.
