The Deputy Minister told TASS about this.

“Now there is such a turbulent situation in the Palestinian territories, in the Gaza Strip, where Hamas is mainly in control.

And the events around the Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem are also all worrying.

Here, on these issues, they shared their assessments, their thoughts.

And regarding the main task - the achievement of Palestinian national unity," Bogdanov said.

In April, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held talks with Ismail Haniya, Chairman of the Politburo of the Palestinian movement Hamas.

In a conversation, they discussed the situation in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the tension around the Al-Aqsa mosque complex in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Lavrov and Haniya noted the inadmissibility of the escalation of clashes into a large-scale military confrontation between Israel and Palestine.
