More than ten Palestinians have been killed and dozens more injured, among them women and children. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-top:12px;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">Moscow is deeply concerned by the serious degradation of the situation in the Gaza Strip.

We urge the Israeli leadership to refrain from actions which only add to the tension in the already not easy situation in Palestinian-Israeli relations. This is critically important now that an inter-Palestinian dialogue is under way in the PNA territories and a national platform is being worked out for the sake of a peaceful settlement with Israel. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-top:12px;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">We express hope that the PNA authorities, for their part, will show restraint and composure, prevent a destabilization of the Palestinian territories and put up a reliable barrier to anti-Israeli terrorist actions. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">June 9, 2006<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION INFORMATION AND PRESS DEPARTMENT _______________________________ 32\/34 Smolenskaya-Sennaya pl., 119200, Moscow G-200; tel.: (495) 244 4119, fax: 244 4112 e-mail: dip@mid.ru,&nbsp;web-address: www.mid.ru Unofficial translation from Russian PRESS RELEASE In Relation to the Israeli Strikes on the Gaza Strip&nbsp; 1029-09-06-2006&nbsp; According to incoming reports, strikes by Israeli aircraft, artillery <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/document\/auto-insert-196893\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"country":[1074],"document-category":[1329],"document-source":[],"committee-meeting":[],"document-subject":[1829,2005,1857],"entity":[1985],"document-language":[6542],"class_list":["post-196893","document","type-document","status-publish","hentry","country-russian-federation","document-category-press-release","document-subject-casualties","document-subject-gaza-strip","document-subject-incidents","entity-state","document-language-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/196893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/document"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/196893\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=196893"},{"taxonomy":"document-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-category?post=196893"},{"taxonomy":"document-source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-source?post=196893"},{"taxonomy":"committee-meeting","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/committee-meeting?post=196893"},{"taxonomy":"document-subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-subject?post=196893"},{"taxonomy":"entity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/entity?post=196893"},{"taxonomy":"document-language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-language?post=196893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
