The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced today, Friday, that the visit of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas "Abu Mazen" to Moscow has been postponed.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov explained that the Palestinian side requested to postpone President Abbas's visit to Russia, which was scheduled for November 15, according to the Russian "Sputnik" agency.
Bogdanov told reporters, "The visit scheduled for November 15 has been postponed at the request of the Palestinian leadership. They indicated that the situation is difficult now and Abbas cannot leave the area. We understand these circumstances."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) declared last Saturday that "from the first moment, we conducted extensive contacts with world leaders to stop the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip."
The Palestinian resistance had launched the Al-Aqsa Flood operation against settlements surrounding Gaza on October 7, killing nearly 1,400 Israeli settlers, and managed to capture more than 200 civilians and military personnel.
In response, the Israeli occupation launched a brutal aggression on the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 9,000 Palestinians, in addition to injuring more than 24 others.
Egypt began evacuating a number of Palestinian wounded from the Gaza Strip yesterday, Wednesday, to monitor their health conditions in Sinai, where a field hospital was established in Sheikh Zowaid city, while continuing to deliver humanitarian aid sent from Egypt and Arab and foreign countries to relieve the people of the Strip.
