Moscow is ready to help resolve the Hamas-Israel war, but will not impose itself on the process, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday.

Speaking with journalists, Lavrov said that the details of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan were "the best currently on the negotiating table" but still needed to be settled, including questions on Palestinian statehood.

"We’ve noted that Donald Trump's peace plan only addresses the Gaza Strip. It mentions statehood, but in rather general terms. These proposals must be clearly defined, including what will happen in the West Bank," he said.

In a critical day for the Middle East, Hamas released the 20 living Israeli hostages it still held and Israel released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners under a breakthrough Gaza ceasefire deal.

Trump, whose administration brokered the deal, made a whirlwind visit to the region, first to Israel where he addressed the parliament to repeated applause.

He landed Monday afternoon in Egypt for the “Summit of Peace” where world leaders are to discuss the ceasefire plan.
