The Russian permanent representative to the United Nations criticized the US’ deceptive "peace plan" for the Gaza Strip at a UN Security Council meeting on August 11.

The touch-and-go situation created in the Gaza Strip, the occupied Palestinian territory, arouses considerable concern, he said, adding that the US’ "peace plan" is in fact making no progress and Israel keeps violating the ceasefire agreement.

Statistics on the victims prove it, he said, disclosing that according to UNICEF, the Israeli forces killed nearly 1 300 Palestinians including about 300 children in less than a year after the agreement on ceasefire came into effect in the Gaza Strip.
