Palestinian President to Meet with Putin
Asharq Al Awsat ^ | August 11, 2024 | Asharq Al Awsat

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will visit Moscow next week to discuss the Gaza war with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a Palestinian envoy said.

Russia's state-run TASS news agency cited the Palestinian ambassador in Moscow as saying Abbas will arrive on Monday and meet Putin on Tuesday.

Ambassador Abdel Hafiz Nofal said the two leaders would discuss events in Gaza since the October 7 attacks on Israel. "They will talk about Russia's role, what can be done."

According to AFP, he said: "We have a very difficult situation, and Russia is a country that is close to us. We need to consult each other."

Moscow for years tried to balance relations with all major players in the Middle East -- including Israel and the Palestinians.

But since the Israel-Hamas war and Russia's own offensive on Ukraine, Putin has moved closer to Israel's foes, Hamas and Iran.

The Kremlin has repeatedly criticized Israel's response to the October 7 attacks and called for restraint.

Good to see that Putin still has some close allies: the Palestinians, Iran, the Houthis and Venezuela and a few misguided FReepers.

They can discuss it all they want. I don’t think that the “Palestinian President” has stepped foot in Gaza once in the last 15 years.

Abbas was last elected in 2005. His term ended 14 years ago, but he did not step down. We used to call that a “dictator.”

Are the west-fags sending troops to help Zelenski?
