Hamas leadership, who all live in luxury in Qatar, are among the invited guests to Vladimir Putin's "Inter-Palestinian Meeting" in Moscow later this month. Also invited are Palestine Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian Authority.

Kenneth Roth, the former executive of Human Rights Watch, wonders if they couldn't have come up with a better place to meet right after Putin's political rival Alexei Navalny died (was murdered) in a Siberian gulag. After all Putin is a colonialist just like the Israelis.

Why would Hamas want to besmirch its reputation by hanging out with Putin?

Reportedly the meeting was set up before Navalny's death, so maybe Hamas will boycott unless they get some answers on how Navalny died.
