Moscow praises Palestinian reconciliation efforts
by alethoMEMO | April 24, 2014
Moscow
praised the agreement reached by Fatah and Hamas to form a unity
government and conduct legislative and presidential elections in
Palestine.
According
to a statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry yesterday, Moscow looked
positively at the practical efforts to resume the process of
reconciliation between the Palestinians, which began yesterday with a
visit from a delegation headed by Azzam Al-Ahmad to the Gaza Strip.
The
Ministry said: "We regard this as a step in the right direction...
unless the Palestinians unite on the foundation of the Palestine
Liberation Organisation and Arab peace initiative, it will be impossible
to fulfil the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people and
achieve a lasting just settlement between Israel and Palestine on the
basis of international law."
It
continued: "From our side, we will do our utmost to provide support for
the Palestinians to help achieve genuine national unity."
