MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Earlier this month, the Israeli prime minister visited
Moscow to discuss a wide range of international issues, including Syria,
with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Further development of mutually beneficial Russian-Israeli cooperation was
discussed in light of Benjamin Netanyahu’s official visit to Russia on June
7. Key aspects of the Palestinian-Israeli settlement were also considered,"
the press service said.

Palestinians seek recognition for their independent state on the territories
of West Bank as well as East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. The Israeli
government denies Palestine's claims, refusing to diplomatically recognize
the existence of a Palestinian state. Peace talks between the sides are
consistently deadlocked.
