MOSCOW, October 14. /TASS/. Palestine believes that the peace summit on Gaza held in Sharm el-Sheikh on October 13 was good and useful, ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal told TASS.

"The summit was good and useful. Both Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian President Vladimir Putin said so," the diplomat said.

"The main point that our President Mahmoud Abbas emphasized was to stop the war and ensure that the Israeli army begins to withdraw its troops. That's the hardest part. So it's a very good start. The second stage should be held soon."
