(MENAFN) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed his concerns on Saturday regarding the reported proposals for "collective management" of the Gaza Strip, suggesting that these plans resemble the establishment of a "reservation." He likened the rumors surrounding the idea to a colonial-style setup.

Lavrov commented, “There are a lot of rumors now about some kind of agreement being drawn up. President Trump, I believe, said yesterday that a resolution is near. We don’t yet know what that means,” during a press briefing following the concluding sessions of the 80th UN General Assembly.

He referred to circulating reports about a potential 21-point blueprint, highlighting media mentions of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair possibly taking on the role of “Governor-General of Gaza.”

“Somewhere—I’m looking for the word now, but we’re in America—a reservation. According to rumors appearing in the media, someone wants to give reservations a respectable form, just as there are reservations here,” Lavrov remarked, as reported by a Russian state-operated news outlet.
