Kremlin, on Trump's Gaza comments, says Russia backs two-state solution in Middle East

Russia believes a settlement in the Middle East is only possible on the basis of a two-state solution, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday after US President Donald Trump said he would like the United States to take over and redevelop the Gaza Strip.

Trump, who has previously proposed the permanent resettlement of more than 2 million Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, said Gaza could become "the Riviera of the Middle East."
