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.”

    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.
