Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday said the sharp escalation of the Israel-Palestinian conflict was a vivid example of the United States' policy failure in the Middle East, Reuters news agency reported.
Putin told the visiting Iraqi prime minister that Washington had tried to monopolise the search for a settlement in the region.
The Kremlin earlier said it was in touch with both sides and would seek to play a role in resolving the conflict between them.
