It was announced that the terrorist organization Hamas and other pro-terrorist groups were also invited to the Palestine region meeting to be held in Russia.

The Kremlin invites terrorist organizations in the Palestinian region, such as the terrorist organization Hamas and radical terrorist organizations, to a meeting to be held in Moscow on February 29. The Kremlin has traditionally had close relations with many Palestinian terrorist organizations. However, relations with Israel have deteriorated during the current war.

A total of 12-14 terrorist organizations will participate in the conference until March 1 or 2. Groups from Syria and Lebanon, terrorist organization Hamas, extremist Islamic Jihad and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) are among those expected to attend. “We assume that the PLO is and will remain the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. This organization is recognized by the international community and by us.”
