Russia Warns U.S. Resolution Conflicts with Establishing Independent Palestinian State

The Russian⁢ Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the⁣ US-proposed resolution on‌ the Gaza⁢ Strip,recently adopted by ⁢the​ United ‌nations​ Security Council,conflicts with international decisions ⁢concerning the creation of a ⁢palestinian state,according to webangah News Agency.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry emphasized: “Resolution 2803 not only lacks Security Council ⁢authority ⁢to ⁤maintain peace and security but also contradicts genuine peacebuilding principles and ​legal international decisions regarding the ⁤establishment ⁤of an independent and unified ‌palestinian state within 1967 borders.”

The‍ ministry also criticized US pressure to pass this resolution‌ without thoroughly considering critical amendments proposed by ​othre countries. It added that even ⁣Russia’s draft aimed at ‌resolving disagreements within⁣ the Security Council failed to improve ⁣the situation.

The American ‌resolution calls ⁤for forming a ⁢”peace committee” to govern​ Gaza under​ US‌ presidential leadership. According to this plan, international forces would be deployed in ⁢the region to disarm Palestinian resistance groups. The resolution denies Palestinians’ right to self-governance and does not commit Tel Aviv to refrain​ from annexing Palestinian territories.

Russia and China abstained from voting on this US resolution concerning Gaza ‌and did​ not view ‍it as a foundation for achieving peace⁤ in the region.
