Putin on Palestinian state And Larijani’s killing

Oct 1

Seyed Mohammad Marandi asks about Gaza and attacks on Iran, alleging genocide and recalling killed Iranian leaders including Ali Larijani. Putin calls for a viable Palestinian state under UN decisions, saying a durable solution requires addressing that issue. He condemns Larijani’s killing, recalls their personal contact and describes him as a pragmatic official with whom compromise might have been possible. Lukyanov adds a tribute based on Larijani’s earlier participation in the Valdai discussions. The allegations, assessments and counterfactual potential for compromise remain attributed to the speakers. This account supplies no newly agreed Palestinian settlement or nuclear deal; the interpreted leader name in the question is preserved without silently substituting another person.

Responding to Marandi’s Gaza allegations, Putin says a durable solution requires a viable Palestinian state under UN decisions. In the Özhan exchange he reiterates the statehood position and says Israel’s internal political choices belong to Israeli voters. Marandi’s genocide allegation and Özhan’s claims about Israeli attacks remain their attributed positions; no settlement or new state is established.
