Russia’s Permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, speaking at a meeting of the security Council concerning the situation in the middle East, including the Palestinian question, said that even pandemic coronavirus has not prevented the authorities of Israel to promote its settlement policy on the West Bank of the Jordan river.
“Even COVID-2019 has not prevented Israel to develop plans to continue settlement activity, the demolition of Palestinian property in the West Bank of the Jordan river,” – said Nebenzia, noting with regret that such a policy provokes further clashes and casualties among the Palestinians.
