The Palestinians want Russia to mediate in the settlement of the Gaza Strip, but Israel is actively hindering it, Musa Abu Marzouk, the vice-president of the Hamas Political Bureau, told RIA Novosti, answering the question about Russia's possible participation in the settlement of the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, the Hamas delegation visited Moscow, where, among other issues, they discussed the implementation of US President Donald Trump's Gaza settlement plan. "Regarding the first question, the decision to involve Russia in the negotiations on the implementation of the ceasefire plan is not up to us.
We have always advocated that Russia become a mediator in the conflict between the Palestinian resistance led by Hamas and Israel, but the Israeli side always rejects this proposal," the source of the agency said.
