Russian state news agency Tass says Iran’s deputy foreign minister met Hamas representatives in Moscow. Thursday's meeting is likely to draw condemnation from Israel which criticised Russia's decision to invite the Hamas representatives and called for them to be expelled from Russia.
Iran’s deputy foreign minister for political affairs met Hamas representatives in Moscow, Russian state news agency Tass said Friday.
The meeting is likely to draw condemnation from Israel, whose foreign ministry slammed Russia’s decision to invite Hamas representatives to Moscow as “an act of support of terrorism,” and called for the delegation to be expelled from Russia. The Kremlin had responded by saying that Moscow believes it is necessary to maintain contacts with all parties.
Tass reported that Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran’s deputy foreign minister for political affairs, told Abu Marzouk, who led the Hamas delegation, that Tehran’s “priority” in negotiations “is an immediate cease-fire, providing assistance to the people and lifting the repressive blockade of Gaza.” The Russian Foreign Ministry said their talks also focused on ceasing hostilities in Gaza and providing humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians. In a separate meeting, Bogdanov met the Hamas representative to discuss the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip and the evacuation of foreigners.
