Putin says Gaza war must end with establishment of Palestinian State
MEMO | October 18, 2024
Russian President, Vladimir Putin, said on Friday that the war in the Gaza Strip must end with the establishment of a “full-fledged” Palestinian State, urging the Middle East Quartet to be reactivated in order to resume mediation efforts in the region, Anadolu Agency reports.
“The primary solution to the Palestinian problem is the establishment of a fully-fledged Palestinian State. The Russian side has upheld this position since the Soviet era,” he remarked during a meeting with BRICS media managers in Moscow.
Putin stressed reactivating the Middle East Quartet, a group of international organisations that includes the UN, US, UN and Russia, to resume efforts to mediate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and initiate a peace process.
“It was a mistake by the US to disrupt the work of the Quartet […] It would have been easier to coordinate all the positions. The US took over, monopolised the peace efforts, assuming full responsibility and, in the end, it failed,” Putin said.
He stressed that Palestinians “will not leave” the Gaza Strip, warning that the region’s humanitarian crisis will only increase the number of those determined to “defend their interests”.
The upcoming BRICS summit in Kazan, from 22-24 October, will include discussions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as it remains a significant global issue, he added.
Israel dramatically escalated its massive bombing campaign across Lebanon against what it claims are Hezbollah targets since 23 September, killing at least 1,437 people, injuring over 4,123 others, and displacing more than 1.34 million people.
The aerial campaign is an escalation from a year of cross-border warfare between Israel and Hezbollah since the start of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip. More than 42,400 people, most of them women and children, have been killed since the war began in the wake of Hamas’s 7 October, 2023 cross-border attack on Israel.
Israel further expanded the escalation, invading Lebanon on 1 October.

‘The primary solution to the Palestinian problem’
So it’s a Palestinian problem, not a Jewish Zionist problem. Not an Israel problem.
Very clarifying remark by Lubatvitcher Putin.
‘the establishment of a fully-fledged Palestinian State’
How is this possible Vlad? The facts that have been created on the ground make that impossible.
Further, Israel will never agree to a Palestinian state that is in any way militarized. They have said as much. Will you default to your wink-and-a-nod statesmanship sardonicism in an attempt to get Israel to denuclearize itself? Demilitarize?
‘The Russian side has upheld this position since the Soviet era’
That isn’t true. The Soviet position changed at various times. Read the history, Vlad.
Further, you yourself have distanced yourself and the current Russian regime in many ways from that of the Soviet era. So, this statement doesn’t make much sense even if it were in fact true.
‘The US took over, monopolised the peace efforts, assuming full responsibility and, in the end, it failed’
The US is occupied by Israel. We’re working on extricating ourselves. It ain’t easy.
Ever heard of the lobby, Vlad? I’ve never heard you mention it. But then you never talk about the power Israel had – and continues to have, even if it may be somewhat diminished – inside Russia.
‘He stressed that Palestinians “will not leave” the Gaza Strip, warning that the region’s humanitarian crisis will only increase the number of those determined to “defend their interests.'”
Brilliant Vlad. I mean, tell us something we don’t know.
The great Russian leader can’t come up with something a little better than this boilerplate BS?
You are owned and occupied by them, just like Trump.
For the record: There can only ever be one state of Palestine, Mr Vladimir Putin. The people of Palestine don’t need your self-serving rhetoric.
