Moscow: US Already Among Leaders of States Interfering in Middle East Conflict

Moscow, The US is already among the leaders of countries that interfere in the Palestine-Israeli conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

"The more such initiative steps come from basically any state, the higher the risk of the conflict spreading is," Lavrov said.

"As for predictions of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken regarding interference of third forces in this conflict, the US is already among the leaders of those who interfere. This includes sending two aircraft groups, and several thousands soldiers to the conflict area - as far as I understand, with all necessary weapons, including heavy ones," the minister added.

Unilateral mediatory efforts are not enough to settle the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as collective steps are needed for that, (TASS) news agency quoted Lavrov as saying.

"It is necessary to act based on the collective potential of countries and the region, and, probably, the European Union, and the United States as it is difficult to do without it here," he said.
