Russia is willing to host peace talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi announced yesterday.

In an interview, Al-Sisi said Russian President Vladamir Putin told him this himself.

Internal divisions within Fatah must be addressed, along with national reconciliation and a peace agreement between Fatah and Hamas, he added.

“We support any positive effort from any country involved, and from all those who are able to influence [the peace process], no matter if it’s the US, EU, or Russia,” he explained.
