Today, I received in my office the representative of Russia in the International Quartet – Mr. Vladimir Karpovich Safronkov and the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the State of Palestine, Gocha Puachidze. We discussed some bilateral issues and the latest local, regional and international developments.
Today I received Her Excellency the British Consul General Diane Corner and the Head of the Department of Economic Development and Institutions, Mr. Nick Horn, in my office, where we discussed the latest political developments in the region.
Another crime committed by the occupation forces in the old city of Nablus, where martyrs have fallen and many wounded, there was also destruction of homes and burning of property. We strongly condemn this crime, and we hold the occupation responsibility for its repercussions. We reiterate that the international protection to our people would put a line in front of these crimes committed against it.
Today, I met with my brother and friend, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman. We discussed the latest developments, specifically after POTS Biden’s tour of the region and the summit of Jeddah. I reaffirmed our high appreciation for His Highness the prince’s speech at the summit, as well as the united Arab position on the Palestine issue.
We appreciate the firm and historical Arab position on the issue of Palestine and its lively presence at the Jeddah Summit, and the affirmation by all the Arab kings and leaders present on the necessity of applying international legitimacy in ending the Israeli occupation and in establishing an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
