The Telegraph: A senior member of Hamas has arrived in Moscow for talks to end the war in Gaza.
Mousa Abu Marzouk, a political leader in the Palestinian terror group, will hold a series of meetings with Russian officials, Russian state media said.
Moscow has repeatedly blamed the current crisis in the Middle East on the failure of US diplomacy and called for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
On Friday, Vladimir Putin said on Friday that the “primary solution” to the conflict in the Gaza Strip must be the establishment of a “full-fledged Palestinian state.”
Marzouk’s visit coincides with the BRICS summit in Kazan in central Russia. The three-day event, which sees itself as a counterweight to the Western-dominated G7, is the largest gathering of foreign leaders in Russia since its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
