In a move toward peace and stability, Hamas is urging Russia to push Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to initiate negotiations for a national unity government in post-war Gaza. 🤝🇵🇸
Following talks in Moscow, Mousa Abu Marzouk, a member of Hamas' politburo, met with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov to discuss the critical issue. ✈️🌐
\"We discussed issues related to Palestinian national unity and the creation of a government that should govern the Gaza Strip after the war,\" Marzouk revealed to the Russian state news agency, RIA.
Hamas is asking Russia to encourage President Abbas, who is currently attending the BRICS summit in Kazan, to begin negotiations aimed at forming a unity government. 🤔🗣️
President Abbas leads the Palestinian Authority (PA), established three decades ago under the Oslo Accords. The PA currently governs parts of the West Bank, a region Palestinians envision as the heart of a future independent state. 🏙️🌿
The relationship between the PA, dominated by Abbas' Fatah faction, and Hamas has been tense for years. The two factions even engaged in a brief conflict before Fatah was expelled from Gaza in 2007. ⚔️🤷♂️
Adding to the complexity, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced strong opposition to the Palestinian Authority's involvement in governing Gaza. 🇮🇱🚫
As the region navigates these challenging dynamics, the call for unity and collaboration becomes ever more crucial for lasting peace. 🌍✨
