MOSCOW, Russia — Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged “maximum responsibility” in calls today with his Israeli and Palestinian Authority counterparts, following recent terror attacks in Jerusalem, the foreign ministry in Moscow says.
Lavrov “called on the Israeli and Palestinian partners to show maximum responsibility and refrain from any actions that could provoke further degradation of the situation” in phone calls with Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and PA counterpart Riyad al-Maliki, the ministry says in a statement.
“The Russian side emphasized that Moscow is seriously concerned about the new round of violence in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” the ministry adds.
