Al-Salhi expressed his rejection of the policy of double standards adopted by the US and NATO countries: “Which led to the armed conflict in Ukraine.” He noted that the conflict in Ukraine is benefiting the US industrial-military sector at the expense of Ukrainian and Russian societies.
The Palestinian MP shared his hopes for an immediate end to the conflict, as well as an immediate lift of the “oppressive” sanctions imposed on Russia.
He passed on the greetings and deep appreciation of the Palestinian people for Russian support for ending the Palestinian division and helping protect food security, which is threatening many countries worldwide.
The Russian-sponsored Palestinian unity talks in Moscow on February 11 were neither a success nor failure. Uniting Palestinian factions was not the main objective of the Moscow conference, in the first place. https://t.co/DVmHMNPIbm
