Ammon News - Moscow Saturday urged the Israelis and Palestinians to exercise restraint and uphold the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, warning of full-on military confrontation and humanitarian crises in the besieged enclave.
"Moscow is very concerned about the outbreak of a new round of armed violence in the area of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The recent escalation came as a result of Israeli air strikes on the Strip..." Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told journalists.
"Russia is watching with deep concern the development of events and considers it fraught with the risks of a resumption of all-out military confrontation and a further deterioration of the already deplorable humanitarian situation in Gaza," she added.
