Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in Moscow on Monday where the issue of Middle East peace talks will be raised, Russian authorities announced Thursday.

“The two leaders will hold talks concerning key aspects of Russian-Palestinian relations and their future, with particular attention on the trade, economy and humanitarian sectors,” the Kremlin said in a statement according to AFP.

There will also be “an exchange of ideas on the process of Israeli-Palestinian talks and other problematic regional situations,” the statement continued, adding that North Africa would also be on the agenda. …

There goes that “natural ally” of the USA against Islamic terrorism helping Islamic terrorists again. (Who called Russia that? A couple of people . . .)

Some will recall how much flame I got when I stated that the jihad is a tool of the communists.

[ElkGroveDan]

I guess he likes Swedish pop music. Go figure.

with particular attention on the [...] humanitarian sectors

Right.

I hope one day he meets his Waterloo....

[UnwashedPeasant]

Why does Russia care about the Palestinian Authority? They have no resources.

[Paladin2]

Why is Russia attracted to funding Jihad?

Never sign a treaty with a guy whose other name, Abu Mazen, is a cow's stomach.

Russia could be a natural ally of any nation trying to fight or defend against Islamic terrorist gangs. ( But America under Obama finsnces, arms, trains, defends, and promotes islamoNazi myrder gangs like PLO/Hamas, muslim Brothers, Iran , etc. All the worst and then some ) so - no alliance

The palies were Russian proxies going back to Arafat. Say what you will about Putin, he sticks with his allies until the last dog dies.

[Olog-hai]

Maybe Russia has animus against Israel. Take note of Russia’s thriving bilateral relations with Iran, in the same vein. Russia is not what one would call “capitalist”.

[Olog-hai]

Not for the length of time Russia has supported Islamic terrorism, even going back to Nasser. Their attitude seems to be that they will help the terrorists so long as they do not turn against Russia, as the Chechens did.

[Olog-hai]

They seem to have been for quite a while. No more virulent enemies of the old USA, right? Never mind the USSR’s aid to Nasser back in the day.

Russia does try that yes. Just like the saudi dictatorship does. Chickens have a tendency to come home at roosting time, however. We will see ...

[Paladin2]

The muzzies in Russia certainly dont seem to be quiet wrt their Orthodox overlords...

[lavaroise]

I always thought the militant islam to go hand in hand with communist political action. It is not instructional or religious at all.

Putin is smart in many ways, but one of his weaknesses is his reflex adherence to old Soviet ways and alliances. That is his training, after all. It is all he ever knew, despite his nod to Solzhenitsyn's memory. In Putin's view, Arab states are clients, not headstrong equals as the Saudis view themselves.
