On 26 January, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will hold talks with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, who will be in Russia on a working visit.
The two ministers will discuss current regional and international issues, focusing on the Middle East and fighting the growing threat of terrorism and extremism. Russia intends to reaffirm its position of principle in support of the fight against this universal evil based on international law and excluding double standards.
They will also discuss one of the key regional goals, which is a comprehensive, fair and lasting Palestinian-Israeli settlement on the basis of accepted international legal principles. Moscow is alarmed by the current deterioration in Palestinian-Israeli relations and has urged them not to fan tensions but to take steps to meet each other halfway to create the basis for resuming the political process.
