In a dramatic twist, Hamas is urging Russia to strong-arm Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas into forming a unity government to control post-war Gaza! Mousa Abu Marzouk, a senior Hamas official, revealed this bombshell after high-stakes talks with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov in Moscow. The militant group is seeking to bring Abbas to the negotiating table to discuss a new leadership arrangement for the war-ravaged region.
Hamas, which has ruled Gaza with an iron grip since ousting Abbas’ Fatah faction in 2007, now wants to broker a unity deal. But they aren’t going at it alone—they’re relying on Russia to apply the pressure. Abbas, currently attending the BRICS summit in Kazan, finds himself under the looming shadow of Moscow’s influence, as Hamas pushes him to finally agree to unify the fractured Palestinian leadership.
The stakes are sky-high. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already slammed the idea of Abbas’ Palestinian Authority (PA) taking part in Gaza’s future governance. With war raging and the future of Gaza hanging by a thread, this call for unity could spark an explosive political showdown.
Will Abbas bow to Russia’s pressure and Hamas’ demands, or will this unity bid crash and burn before it even starts? As the battle for Gaza’s political future heats up, the region is on the verge of a major power shift—and the world is watching closely! This could change everything.
