Hamas is seeking Russia's support to encourage Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to initiate talks for a national unity government in Gaza after the war. 🕊️
In a recent meeting in Moscow, Mousa Abu Marzouk, a member of Hamas' politburo, sat down with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov to discuss the future governance of the Gaza Strip. 🏛️
According to reports from the Russian state news agency RIA, Marzouk emphasized the importance of Palestinian national unity and the establishment of a government to oversee Gaza post-conflict. With President Abbas currently attending the BRICS summit in Kazan, Hamas is hoping Russia can play a pivotal role in facilitating these negotiations. 🌐
The Palestinian Authority (PA), led by Abbas' Fatah faction, has governed parts of the West Bank since the Oslo Accords three decades ago. However, relations between the PA and Hamas have been tense, leading to a brief conflict that resulted in Fatah's expulsion from Gaza in 2007. 🔄
Adding to the complexity, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced strong opposition to the PA's involvement in Gaza's governance. This move by Hamas to seek unity could be a game-changer for the region's political landscape. 🤝
