MOSCOW. Sept 5 (Interfax) - Russia could become one of key players in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal said.
"The Russian initiative, the new approach to the issue - we are participating in it because (...) we believe that Russia can play a role in the peace process, possibly not only now but also in the future. Russia can become one of key players on the issue of peaceful resolution and put an end to the confrontation between Palestine and Israel. We believe that the region is ready for Russia to play such a role after its actions in Syria," Nofal said in an interview with Interfax.
"On the other hand, we in Palestine welcome Russia's position and political approach and hope it will succeed in its mission," the ambassador said.
