Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister
The Russian foreign minister stressed today that Moscow does not support the Iranian calls for Israel’s destruction. “We have stated many times that we won’t accept the statements that Israel, as a Zionist state, should be destroyed and wiped off the map,” the top diplomat said.
“By the same token, we oppose attempts to view any regional problem through the prism of fighting Iran,” he noted. This is happening in Syria, Yemen and even the latest developments around the Palestinian issue, including Washington’s announcement of its decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, are largely motivated by this anti-Iranian stance.”
