In Hebron, Palestinians held a mass protest with Russian flags, portraits of Putin and Kim Jong-un

In one of the largest cities in the West Bank, Hebron, another Palestinian protest against Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip took place. Palestinians came out to a mass rally with portraits of Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Above the columns of demonstrators, in addition to the flags of Palestine and the Hamas movement, the flags of the Russian Federation also fluttered. Some Palestinians carried portraits of the Russian and North Korean leaders.
It is known that Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un are perceived in many countries of the world as symbols of opposition to American imperialism. Russia and North Korea are trying to pursue an independent policy, facing opposition from the United States and its satellites. The “collective West” has imposed large-scale economic sanctions on both countries.
Not long ago, the leader of the DPRK paid an official visit to the Russian Federation, where he met with the Russian President at the Vostochny cosmodrome, and then visited a number of important military facilities in the Far East. Then Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made a trip to North Korea, who noted that relations between the two states were reaching a qualitatively different level.


Unlike the countries of the “collective West,” Russia and the DPRK consistently advocate an end to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the terms of the creation of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently called the creation of a Palestinian state a key condition for a peaceful resolution of the conflict situation in the Middle East.

Good relations between Russia and the Palestinian movement have their roots in the Soviet era. The USSR provided great support to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), consistently defending the right of the Palestinian people to their statehood.
