Russia Has 'Serious Influence' as Mediator in Israel-Palestine Conflict
CAIRO (Sputnik) — The Quartet on the Middle East, or simply the Quartet, established in 2002, comprises the United Nations, the United States, the European Union and Russia, which are involved in mediating the peace process in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The official added that the Quartet was of little use right now, and the international community was obliged to immediately find an alternative.

"We are communicating with the international community, including Russia, through the Arab League to revive the Palestinian issue and try to repeat the success of the P5+1 regarding our issue. The Committee of P5+1 was comprehensive about the Iran issue, and should address the problem of Palestine in a similar way, so that we can find an objective solution for the Palestinian people," Wasel Abu Yousef said.

The core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is essentially a struggle over land. Palestinians seek to create a diplomatically recognized independent state on the territories of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, according to the frontiers that were in existence before the 1967 Six-Day War.

The final deal was preceded by lengthy talks and joint diplomatic efforts.
