Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said that Israel did not implement Trump's Gaza plan

Lavrov attended the International Forum on Ensuring Collective Security held in the capital Moscow.

Speaking at the forum, Lavrov said that former US President Joe Biden's administration refused to consult on security-related issues.

Lavrov stated that he did not have high expectations from the Trump administration, but pointed out that the American side offered to discuss regional security guarantees in the tripartite negotiations on Ukraine that started in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Lavrov noted that the guarantees in question would come into effect after a long-term solution to the Ukrainian crisis is achieved and said, "Learning from past experiences and without any illusions, we hope that this time the US administration will be determined to continue the dialogue in order to ensure a fair balance of interests in which no one's security will be harmed." he said.

"The Palestine issue is not mentioned"

Touching on the situation in the Middle East, Lavrov stated that the Palestine issue was not mentioned.

Lavrov said, "Trump's (Gaza) plan, which was approved by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) a year ago, is absolutely not implemented by Israel. Israel explains that the establishment of the State of Palestine should not be dreamed of." he said.

Sergey Lavrov underlined that the situation in the Persian Gulf is far from resolved.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov also attended the joint meeting of the committee of secretaries of the foreign affairs, defense and security councils of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) held in Moscow.
