‘An agreement has been reached that Mr Abbas will come here to Moscow,’ Russia’s RBC news said, citing Palestine’s ambassador to Russia Russian President Vladimir Putin last met Abbas a year ago on the sidelines of a regional conference in Kazakhstan

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to visit Moscow, Russian news media quoted the Palestinian envoy to Moscow as saying late on Monday.

“We are awaiting an official statement from the Kremlin, from the Russian side, about when the visit will take place,” Russia’s RBC news outlet said, citing Palestine’s ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal.

“An agreement has been reached that Mr Abbas will come here to Moscow.”

Separately, Nofal told Russia’s state television that the two sides maintain “daily contacts.”

    But not because they don’t want support Palestine, it’s because they know that this money goes to the Hamas to fuel their war instead of humanitarian aid to the people in need in Palestine

      And the US sells the weapons that knock residential towers in Palestinian territory, let’s not act like it is anything more than taking sides. The US props up apartheid Israel, subsidises their military and makes it known that Palestinian support is not appreciated. Palestine is poverty stricken due to the policies of the US and Israel and aid is questioned because it could find terrorism? Israeli soldiers murder Palestinian children.
