Head of Hamas International Relations Office Mousa Abu Marzouq met last Friday with Russian Special Envoy for the Middle East and North Africa Mikhail Bogdanov in Moscow.

They discussed the latest developments concerning the Palestinian cause and the Israeli violations against the Palestinian people in Jerusalem, occupied Palestinian territories, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.

Abu Marzouq reiterated the rights of the Palestinian people who are entitled to resist the Israeli occupation with all means possible.

“The Israeli government’s extremist policy pushes the situation once again towards escalation in the Palestinian territories and the region,” the senior Hamas official added.

Bogdanov expressed Russia’s support for the Palestinians and highlighted the country’s endeavors in this regard.
