While the Russian president is on a visit to Syria, the president of the Institute for Middle Eastern Studies, Evgeny Satanovsky, shared with RT his views on Russia’s contribution to the Middle East peace process.
“The Middle East peace process is something which has been in the cemetery for more than 10 years. We cannot raise it from the dead,” Satanovsky said. “We, the U.N., the U.S., and the E.U. are all part of the club that discusses something about the Middle East peace process – shakes hands and travels the world. That’s nice. But we must understand that nobody – neither Russia, nor the US, nor Egypt, nor Saudi Arabia – can build the state if a Palestinian leadership does not build a state. We can help. The problem is the whole world has been helping this process for decades and the result is absolutely nothing. Maybe it’s time to leave Israelis and Palestinians alone and they will build some kind of peace which is possible for both sides.”

Russia-US nuclear deal revival “a sign of prevailing pragmatism”Reviving the Russia-US civilian nuclear energy deal was possible because of the strong, personal relationship between Presidents Obama and Medvedev, says Yury Lipatov, the head of Russia's parliamentary Energy Committee. |

are you serious, is this what russia has come to be, .. a country bowing down to pressure from washington and tel aviv? so it is palestinian leadership that is the problem, that is why there is no palestinian state, not because they almost have no land to have a country, state, .. they have no rights in the occupied territories, they are blockaded from all sides, they have no right to a international airport if by some miracle israel decides to give them the right to have their own state.. !! it is pathetic, for russia to think they are friends with the west, they are like them, just because you roll over and die doesn't make you their friends, you will learn this when CIA decides it is time for russia to die.. which will be in 5-10 yrs from now, mark my words.. and please don't try to block me from posting this messege as it will be too obvious that you seriously are screwed..
