A senior Hamas delegation headed by the Movement’s politburo member, Mousa Abu Marzouk, met with the Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for the Middle East and Africa, and Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Mikhail Bogdanov, at the headquarters of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow.

Abu Marzouk discussed with Bogdanov the ongoing Israeli crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and in particular what is happening in the North Gaza Governorate of mass killing of children and women, forced displacement of civilians, and systematic targeting of shelters and hospitals.

The Hamas senior official stressed that the Israeli crime of genocide is aimed at displacing the people of Gaza with the full support of the US administration and the West.

For his part, Bogdanov stressed the Russian Federation’s position in support of an immediate ceasefire, the rights of the Palestinian people, the necessity of providing humanitarian aid to the people of the Gaza Strip, and reaching a prisoner exchange deal.

The Hamas delegation also included the Movement’s representative in Moscow Iyad Abu Zaher, and Secretary of the International Relations Office, Muhammad al-Aila.
