Safronkov reaffirmed his country’s longstanding position in support of the Palestinian people and their just cause.
Tensions are high between Moscow and Tel Aviv as the Russian Ministry of Justice has reportedly requested the dissolution of the Russian branch of the Jewish Agency, an organization that promotes immigration to Israel on a mass scale since its inception in 1929.
