Munich Security Conference: Russia invites Palestinian factions to Moscow

Russia has invited Palestinian factions to meet in Moscow on February 26, the Palestinian Authority (PA) prime minister says, adding that the PA was ready to engage with Hamas.

“Russia has invited all Palestinian factions who will be meeting on the 26 of this month in Moscow. We will see if Hamas is ready to come to the ground with us” Mohammad Shtayyeh told the Munich Security Conference.

“We are ready to engage. If Hamas is not then that’s a different story. We need Palestinian unity,” he said, adding that to be part of that unity Hamas needed to meet certain prerequisites.

World leaders have urged Israel to allow much-needed humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
Shtayyeh says that European countries present hold different views but agree on the need for an immediate pause in the fighting.
