Then the dictator "informed of this fact" the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
"The focus of the conversation was on the crisis situation caused by the dramatic escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The Russian President expressed sincere condolences to the families and friends of the Israeli victims, underlining his total rejection and condemnation of any actions that result in civilian casualties, including women and children" - we read in the Kremlin's propaganda statement.
Putin presented Netanyahu with the "steps taken by Russia to help in the normalization of the situation, to prevent further escalation of violence and to prevent a humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip".
"In particular, the Israeli side was informed about the key points of today's telephone conversations with the leaders of Palestine, Egypt, Iran, and Syria. The fundamental commitment of Russia to continue working towards ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and achieving a peaceful solution through political and diplomatic means was confirmed" - we read.
A few hours after this conversation, media reports were confirmed.
On Wednesday in Israel, U.S. President Joe Biden will appear, who will also head to Amman in Jordan, where he will meet with King Abdullah II, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and Palestinian Authority Leader Mahmoud Abbas.
