Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to visit Moscow, Russian news media quoted the Palestinian envoy to Moscow as saying late on Monday.

“We are awaiting an official statement from the Kremlin, from the Russian side, about when the visit will take place,” Russia’s RBC news outlet said, citing Palestine’s ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal.

“An agreement has been reached that Mr Abbas will come here to Moscow.”

Separately, Nofal told Russia’s state television that the two sides maintain “daily contacts.”

yeah totally understandable and reasonable decision to turn yourself to one of the worst countries in the world. Hey maybe go for a sandwich and some cookies to Iran after that and I heard that North Korea is also pretty lovely at this time of the year...

Well the US has made support of Palestine taboo for most western nations, leaving just the enemies of the US as contenders for support.

But not because they don't want support Palestine, it's because they know that this money goes to the Hamas to fuel their war instead of humanitarian aid to the people in need in Palestine

And the US sells the weapons that knock residential towers in Palestinian territory, let's not act like it is anything more than taking sides. The US props up apartheid Israel, subsidises their military and makes it known that Palestinian support is not appreciated. Palestine is poverty stricken due to the policies of the US and Israel and aid is questioned because it could find terrorism? Israeli soldiers murder Palestinian children.

I'm guessing there's not a lot of options for them.

Get rid of the Hamas and start negotiations would be a great start. for both sides in this conflict...

What's with the article from the South China post?

I can't find any other sources.

To everyone getting horny to shit on palestinians because Abbas is going to see Putin: maybe ask yourselves why the leaders of the free world didn't offer any support first?
