(NEWS) Russia Sends 50 Troop Carriers To PA

"Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in a visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, announced in Ramallah on Tuesday that 50 Russian troop carriers would soon be delivered to the PA.

Lavrov told reporters that Moscow provided the carriers a few years ago, 'but Israel refused to hand them over.' Now, he said, 'we have already sent the carriers. The vehicles arrived in Jordan and we hope they will arrive in the next few days.' It was not clear if he expected Israel to block them again or allow them through.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in his famous Bar Ilan University speech last year expressing support for a Palestinian state, made it very clear that Israel would only agree to a demilitarized PA state."
