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.
Wow. Abbas isn’t great but this is certainly a good step.
Kinda doubt it will help though. Israel keeps Palestine’s economy hostage by dictating their services and tech. Not sure BRICS would work unless Israel also joins in.
The new axis powers is really starting to get interesting.
