PA To Study Moscow Role In Ending Hamas-Fatah Row During Hamas' Russia Trip - Minister

ROME (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 23rd November, 2018) The Palestinian National Authority, dominated by the Fatah party, will follow the visit of the Hamas movement's delegation to Russia to see the role that Moscow can play in convincing the group's leaders to bring an end to the conflict between the two rival forces, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Maliki told Sputnik.

"I know that there is a delegation from Hamas [that] will visit Moscow soon. This is what we heard. And maybe [Hamas political leader Ismail] Haniyeh [will be part of this delegation] himself. And therefore we want to follow this subject to see what can be said in Moscow with the delegation of Hamas, and thus stand on the role that can be played by Moscow to convince leaders of Hamas to end the split," Maliki said on the sidelines of the Mediterranean Dialogues (MED) forum in Rome.
