On October 17, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Vershinin had a telephone conversation with the Ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Moscow Nazih Nagari at his request.
The development of the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone was discussed, taking into account the consideration of the Russian and Brazilian draft resolutions on the situation in the Gaza Strip in the UN Security Council. Special attention is paid to the tasks of establishing the process of evacuation of civilians, including foreigners, from the enclave through the Rafah checkpoint and sending humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza.
