[Russian Foreign Minister said the issue of Palestinian statehood must be resolved] September 27th, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said in his speech at the general debate of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 26, local time, that the time has come to resolve the core issues in the Middle East, that is, to ensure the establishment of the Palestinian state on the basis of multiple United Nations resolutions. Lavrov pointed out that the Security Council approved the peace plan for the Gaza Strip about a year ago, but peace has not been achieved in the area. Elderly people, women and children are still losing their lives. The humanitarian situation remains dire. Israel is expanding settlements in the West Bank and the situation continues to deteriorate. Lavrov warned that if this continues, it will be impossible to establish a Palestinian state. If Palestine cannot establish a state, Israel will always face security threats. (CCTV International News)
