It was Netanyahu’s first direct contact with Putin since Hamas’s massive attack on Israel on October 7.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the evening of October 16. This was reported by the Times of Israel in connection with the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel.
The department has not disclosed details of the negotiations.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin press service states that the focus of the discussion is “the crisis situation that has arisen as a result of a sharp escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.”
“The Israeli side was informed of the main points of contact by telephone today with the leaders of Palestine, Egypt, Iran and Syria,” the statement said.
Let’s recall that the leaders of the Russian Federation, Syria, Iran, the Palestinian Authority and Egypt have expressed concern about the escalation of the Arab-Israeli conflict into a regional war. Putin said that to resolve the conflict, it is necessary to “create an independent Palestinian state.”
In the past, Putin said that Israel “occupied part of the Palestinian lands” and the United States “abandoned the settlement mechanisms in the Middle East.”
