Vladimir Putin held a meeting with President of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas

Middle East settlement was among the priority topics of the discussion.

Russia's stance is principled, consistent, and in no way motivated by short-term considerations: we firmly advocate for early cessation of the bloodshed. Humanitarian aid must be provided to all those in need, and we call on all the parties to exercise restraint. Lasting peace in the region can only be achieved through a political and diplomatic settlement on the well-known international legal grounds which provide for the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state that would exist in peace and security with Israel.

Mr President, it was your birthday on October 7, and on that day, I sent you a congratulatory message.
