"We completely understand the emotions the Palestinians currently have. For years they made concessions without receiving anything in return," Lavrov said at an annual press conference in Moscow.
"We constantly hear that the US is about to unveil an important deal (on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) that would satisfy all sides. We have not seen this kind of document," Lavrov added.
Palestinian leaders today held a meeting called after US President Donald Trump's controversial December 6 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
In December, Abbas sent delegations to China and Russia to ask them to take on a greater role in the peace process with Israel.

Lavrov said Russia welcomed the Palestinians because "they were ready for direct talks with the Israelis without preconditions."
Moscow's chief diplomat added that the chances of direct contact between the two sides are "unfortunately approaching zero."
Lavrov went on to say "the unresolved Palestinian-Israeli conflict is one of the most serious factors that allows radicals to recruit newer and newer generations of terrorists."
