Arab League Chief heads to Moscow for talks on Gaza situation

The talks come in the aftermath of a significant attack by Palestinian resistance groups on zionist occupation regime.

Aboul Gheit will address the "ongoing escalation in the Gaza Strip," according to a spokesperson for the Cairo-based League of Arab States.

Following Operation Al Aqsa Flood on Saturday, Russia expressed serious concern, urging both Palestinian and israeli sides to cease violence.

Moscow blamed the West for obstructing the Middle East Quartet and emphasized the necessity of proper negotiations for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

"We regard the current large-scale escalation as another extremely dangerous manifestation of a vicious circle of violence resulting from chronic failure to comply with the corresponding resolutions of the UN and its Security Council and the blocking by the West of the work of the Middle East Quartet of international mediators made up of Russia, the United States, the EU, and the UN," stated Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
