00:00Palestine's Ambassador in Moscow, Abdel Hafiz Nafal, announced on August 26 that Palestinian
00:13Authority President Mohammed Abbas has received an invitation from Russian President Vladimir
00:20Putin to attend the upcoming BRICS summit.
00:24The ambassador emphasized that while the details of Abbas's participation are still
00:29being finalized, Palestinian representatives will be present at the summit.
00:36According to Abdel, the relationship between Abbas and Putin is strong and they have the
00:42flexibility to meet whenever needed.
00:46Abdel also revealed that following their participation in the BRICS summit, the Palestinians plan
00:52to request official membership in the BRICS Association.
00:57Putin has assured that the upcoming BRICS summit, scheduled to take place in Kazan,
01:03Russia in October 2024, will feature a session dedicated specifically to Palestinian issues.
01:11This marks a significant diplomatic gesture as Russia continues to engage with various
01:18Palestinian factions, including Fatah, Hamas, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, to foster
01:25national unity.
01:27Earlier this year, Moscow hosted talks among these Palestinian factions and Beijing facilitated
01:35a reconciliation agreement aimed at ending divisions and strengthening Palestinian unity.
01:42Despite these diplomatic efforts, the Palestinian Authority remains under severe constraints,
01:48especially from Israel, including withheld funds and a lack of progress towards statehood.
01:55In July, Israel's Knesset overwhelmingly rejected any possibility of Palestinian statehood
02:03even within the framework of a negotiated settlement.
02:07This move comes amid ongoing international disputes and difficulties for foreign diplomats
02:14dealing with the PA, as seen in Norway's recent experience.
02:19BRICS nations, which include Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, have been
02:26vocal in condemning Israel's actions in Gaza.
02:30They have called for a ceasefire and the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid, while also
02:37rejecting forced displacements of Palestinians from their land.
02:42The BRICS bloc has become a significant platform for cooperation among states facing harsh
02:49Western and U.S. sanctions.
02:52It has enabled countries like Russia, China, and Iran to collaborate across trade, security,
02:59and other vital areas.
