Jerusalem: In a 50-minute phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quick to slam the close ties Moscow shares with Iran. As per an official statement, Netanyahu expressed his "strong displeasure" to Putin.
As per a statement issued by the Israeli government, PM Netanyahu spoke to President Putin and expressed extreme "displeasure" with the "anti-Israel positions" taken by Russian envoys at the United Nations.
This 50-minute phone call took place after Russia backed the UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, which was vetoed by the United States.
While speaking to Putin, the Israeli leader also expressed his "robust disapproval" of Russia's "dangerous" cooperation with Iran.
Russia has condemned Hamas' attack on Israel, which took place on October 7. Despite its close ties with Iran and groups such as Hamas, Moscow is ready to give all assistance to alleviate the suffering of civilians and to de-escalate the conflict.
"Vladimir Putin reaffirmed the principle position of rejecting and condemning terrorism in all its forms. At the same time, it is extremely important that countering terrorist threats does not lead to such grave consequences for the civilian population," stated Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
The Israel-Hamas war broke out on October 7, 2023, after the militant group launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing 1,200. In response, Israel announced war on Hamas and began to bombard the Gaza Strip. Since October 7, over 15,000 Palestinians have been killed due to Israeli attacks. A majority of the deaths have been attributed to women and children.
