Palestine is expected to submit its application to join the BRICS, a group of emerging economies, after its upcoming summit in October in the city of Kazan, southwestern Russia.

Earlier, Putin invited Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to attend the BRICS summit in Kazan.

“This invitation means that despite all the crimes, killings and destruction in the Gaza Strip, our message is that Palestine wants to live and to develop,” Ambassador Nofal added.

BRICS includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. In January, it welcomed Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE as full members.

      So are the USA, or at the very least being complicit and enabling. Furthermore, of the Palestinians themselves!

          Of course not. Israel is not only rounding up Palestinians but also bombing them, raping them, destroying their infrastructure, killing international aid workers to stop help coming in, destroying their schools and hospitals, … all with the support, political, financial and in weapons, of “the west”, led by the USA.

          Edit: and with very little hope of that changing after elections. https://theintercept.com/2024/08/30/kamala-harris-cnn-interview-israel-gaza/
