Any U.S.-brokered “deal of the century” in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would undo all the work that has been done up until now, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at an Intra-Palestinian reconciliation forum in Moscow on Tuesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump has touted sweeping proposals to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The economic plan is widely expected to include international funding proposals for the Gaza Strip.

Lavrov’s comments came ahead of a planned trip to at least at least five Arab countries in late February by White House senior adviser Jared Kushner to brief diplomats on the economic portion of a long-awaited U.S. peace proposal for the Middle East and seek their support.

The meeting, held in Moscow from Feb. 11-13, brings together representatives of opposing Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas, as well as various other groups and movements.

Azzam al-Ahmad, a member of Fatah Central Committee and the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, thanked Russia on Monday for hosting the rare intra-Palestinian talks.
