Is Russia replacing the US in the peace process?
Russia is considering a draft convention exempting Palestinian diplomats from obtaining a Russian entry visa.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Russian efforts to promote ties with the Palestinian Authority (PA) continue as it seeks to fill the void caused by the rupture of PA-US ties, following Donald Trump’s Jerusalem decision, the cessation of all financial aid to Palestinians and the closing of the PLO office in Washington.
Most recently, the Russian ambassador to the PA, Haidar Aghanin, said on May 29 that his country is examining a draft convention that would exempt holders of Palestinian diplomatic passports from having to obtain a visa to enter Russia.
