****** wants Russia to urge Palestine unity government

************ militant group ****** wants Russia to push ************ President Mahmoud Abbas to begin negotiations on a national unity government for post-war Gaza, a senior ****** official has told the RIA state news agency after talks in Moscow.

Mousa Abu Marzouk, a ****** politburo member, met Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov in Moscow.

“We discussed issues related to ************ national unity and the creation of a government that should govern the Gaza Strip after the war,” Marzouk was quoted as saying by RIA.

Marzouk said that ****** had asked Russia to encourage Abbas, who is attending the Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South ******* (BRICS) summit in Kazan, to start negotiations about a unity government, RIA reported.

Abbas is head of the ************ Authority, the governing body of the occupied ************ territories.

The authority was set up three decades ago under the interim peace agreement known as the Oslo Accords and exercises limited governance over parts of the occupied West Bank, which Palestinians want as the core of a future independent state.

The authority, controlled by Abbas’ ****** political faction, has long had a strained relationship with ******, the Islamist movement that runs Gaza, and the two factions fought a brief war before ****** was expelled from the territory in 2007.

******** Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed strong opposition to the authority being involved in running Gaza.
