Hamas Delegation Meets with Russian Officials Amid Gaza Conflict

Delegates from the Palestinian militant group Hamas have arrived in Moscow for talks with Russian officials, according to Russia's Foreign Ministry. The visit comes after Hamas launched an attack on Israel earlier this month, leading to an Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip. The talks are focused on the release of foreign hostages held by Hamas and the evacuation of Russian and other foreign citizens from the Palestinian enclave. This visit marks the first time Hamas has visited Russia since the recent conflict began.
