(RT-Russia) An Israeli-Palestinian summit in Moscow would be a "thoroughly prepared" event aimed at reviving the reconciliation process, rather than yet another meeting for the sole purpose of holding talks, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told TASS upon his return from Israel on Thursday. "We're not trying to force this event...it should be done at the right time." Gatilov noted that the Israelis "are very alarmed and do not want the Israeli-Palestine conflict internationalized." Any possible "Security Council-level" actions must be cautious enough to "not undermine the possibility of a revival in bilateral talks." "There's an idea on a [UN] resolution on the settlements. There's an initiative and a League of Arab States' decision on this matter. In fact, not all Arab states unanimously support such a resolution; many understand the sensitivity of this matter. Personally, I think that a resolution won't be approved in a forced manner," Gatilov said.
