Hamas VS Fatah and the Establishment of the State of Palestine

On the same occasion, he also spoke about Hamas and Fatah. The reaction of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas from Fatah, who reportedly thought Hamas did not represent Palestine when speaking with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, was highlighted.

“Abbas showed that he is not hostile to the Gaza Strip and those who control the situation there,” said Putin, explaining the situation differently from previous reports.

“Regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state, our position is principled… we have always supported the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with a capital in East Jerusalem,” Putin said.
