Moscow warns against military operation in Gaza Strip

MOSCOW. June 28 (Interfax) - Moscow is concerned over the potentially dangerous developments in the Gaza Strip and calls on the Israeli government to abstain from "hard-line scenarios" and to try to find a political solution.

"A military operation in the Gaza Strip may result in many casualties and will have very complex consequences for a future Israeli- Palestinian settlement," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said in a statement commenting on Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmer's statement that a full-scale operation in the Gaza Strip is being prepared.
