The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday that Russia and the United Arab Emirates discussed coordinated efforts to resolve the war on Gaza by creating an independent Palestine and establishing a political solution to the regional crises in Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon.

The statement was released on behalf of talks currently being held in the UAE between Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov with diplomatic advisor to the President of the UAE, Anwar Gargash, as well as other officials.

"When exchanging views on the current military and political situation in the hot spots of the Middle East, special attention was paid to the unprecedented escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, including the catastrophic situation in the Gaza Strip..." it read.  

It added, "The importance of consolidating efforts for a speedy implementation of international legal decisions, envisioning the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem, coexisting in peace and security with Israel, was confirmed".
