Russia invites all Palestinian factions to the summit that will take place in Moscow on the 26th of this month. At the Munich Security Conference, Mohammad Shtayyeh said, "We will see if Hamas is ready to come to the ground with us." "We are prepared to interact. It's a different story if Hamas is not. He stated, "We need Palestinian unity," adding that Hamas has to fulfill specific requirements to be included in that unity.
