Hamas delegation visiting Moscow

A delegation from Hamas is currently visiting Moscow, according to a Russian foreign ministry spokesperson.

Russia's state-run RIA news agency said that Abu Marzook, a senior Hamas figure, was among those in the Russian capital. 

On Thursday, Moscow put forward a resolution at the UN Security Council calling for an immediate ceasefire. It failed to pass after being voted down by the US and UK - both of which have veto powers as permanent members of the council.
