Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed current developments in the Middle East during a phone call on Monday, the Kremlin stated.

Both leaders spoke on US President Donald Trump's 20-point proposal to end the war in the Gaza Strip, with Putin reaffirming Moscow's position "in favor of a comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian issue."

The two also spoke on finding a solution to the Iranian nuclear program and how to achieve further stabilization in Syria. 

The conversation follows Netanyahu and Putin's last phone call in August.

It also comes after Israeli public broadcaster KAN News reported that Netanyahu was trying to help reduce tensions between Putin and US President Donald Trump. 

Netanyahu’s office has recently been working closely with Russia, according to KAN, in apparent efforts to resolve several different issues, including the tension between the US and Russia following Putin’s insistence on continuing the war in Ukraine.

However, the Kremlin has frequently praised its ties to Palestinian actors and terror groups, such as Hamas. 

After Russian-Israeli hostage Sasha Troufanov was released earlier this year, Putin told him to thank his captors for deciding to release him. 

“Your release is a result of Russia’s long-standing ties with Palestinians, their representatives, and various organizations. We should thank Hamas’s leadership for this humanitarian act of freeing you,” Putin told Troufanov and his family.
