The Gaza contact group, a group consisting of senior diplomats from Turkey, Nigeria, Indonesia, Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, in addition to the secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), has arrived in Moscow as part of its diplomatic tour, in an attempt to hold discussions concerning the implementation of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, as reported by the Turkish Foreign Ministry. 

Permanent members of the UN Security Council, in particular, will be visited by the group, the Turkish Foreign Ministry added. The tour was led yesterday, on November 20, by a visit to Beijing, China, during which the group met with the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Today, they attended talks in Moscow. 
 
This is to be followed by visits to both London and Paris on Wednesday, to meet with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and  French President Emmanuel Macron respectively.

The contact group was formed during the joint summit of the OIC and the Arab League in Riyadh, back on November 11, to implement an immediate ceasefire and provide Gaza with humanitarian relief aid. The group also seeks to advocate for an internationally acclaimed two-state solution that simultaneously warrants the security, stability, and prosperity of Palestinians within their country. 

During the meeting, Arab ministers called for an immediate ceasefire and to end the Israeli aggression on Gaza, while Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed the need for action by the international community to end the "humanitarian disaster" unfolding in Gaza, as well as "restore peace in the Middle East".
