Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Abdelhafiz Nofal has said that the visit of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to Moscow is being prepared.

“We maintain daily contacts with Moscow; preparations are now underway for President Abbas’s visit to Moscow,” Nofal told Rossiya-24 TV channel.

Answering a question about the possibility of negotiations between the leaders of Palestine and Israel in Moscow, the ambassador noted that “there is no such possibility anymore.”

“With the existing Israeli cabinet, we cannot continue this kind of work. We believe that the international community should intervene, we believe that what happened in Gaza is a serious signal to the international community to take action,” Nofal added.

According to him, it is necessary to resume negotiations under the auspices of the Middle East Quartet with the participation of interested countries.
