ALBAWABA - Reports said, citing Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh, that Russia has invited representatives of all Palestinian factions to meet in Moscow on February 26. 

"Russia has invited all Palestinian factions to meet in Moscow on the 26th of this month." Mohammad Shtayyeh addressed the Munich Security Conference, "We'll see if Hamas is ready to join us on the ground."

"We are ready to engage. If Hamas is not then that’s a different story. We need Palestinian unity," he said, adding that to be part of that unity Hamas needed to meet certain prerequisites.
