MOSCOW, March 2--The Russian foreign ministry on Friday denounced the Zionist army operations in the West Bank and Gaza, saying they were causing a "worsening" of the conflict there.
""Israeli" army raids, particularly over such a large area, lead to a new worsening of the situation in the Palestinian territories and complicate the work of Palestinian and international forces who are trying to reach a political solution to the "Israeli"-Palestinian conflict," Mikhail Kamynin, the spokesman for the Russian minister, said in a statement.
After receiving Meshaal in Moscow on Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called for the Western embargo against the Palestinians to be lifted.
The Zionist army announced Thursday that it would be sealing off the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza until Monday night.
