Russia Opposed to ‘Deal of Century’: Hamas
Haniyeh, who recently travelled to Moscow and held talks with top officials there, said Russia rejects the US-Zionist plan and considers it to be against international laws.
Speaking to al-Mayadeen TV, he added that in his talks in Moscow, the two sides discussed way to counter the plot, including by adoption of a united Palestinian stance and enhancing Palestinian popular resistance.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Haniyeh highlighted the pivotal role of Iranian top commander Lt. General Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated by the US in early January, in supporting the resistance in the region, especially in Palestine.
US President Donald Trump in January unveiled his long-delayed Middle East plan, a proposal Palestinian leaders called a “conspiracy” that “will not pass”.
Following Trump’s announcement, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said “a thousand no’s to the plan.
The American plan has sparked widespread international condemnation.
The deal of century ploy, fronted by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, had already been rejected by the Palestinians, who say the White House’s policies have been blatantly biased in favor of Israel.
