Israel rubbishes claims of Russian involvement in Hamas attack
thepressunited ^

Posted on 10/11/2023 7:53:14 AM PDT by Rattlesnake_Snook

Israel does not believe that Russia was in any way connected to last week’s Hamas attack, the country’s ambassador to Moscow, Alexander Ben Zvi, said in an interview with Kommersant on Wednesday.

Ben Zvi was asked to comment on allegations against Russia on social media and by a number of news outlets that it may have been involved in the attack and that the situation in Gaza is beneficial to Moscow, as it supposedly draws Washington’s attention away from Ukraine.

The ambassador responded by calling the allegations “complete nonsense.”

“We do not believe that Russia was involved in this in any way,” Ben Zvi said. “So all the aforementioned claims are pure conspiracy,”

Give It Up.

Putin is a bastard, but he and Netanyahu have remained in touch and continued normal diplomatic relations throughout the entire Ukraine conflict.

Nobody does realpolitik like Likud politicians in general, and Netanyahu in particular.

Unlike the idiots in our country, he places Israel's security above all else and was not about to join in the quixotic mission to back NATO up to Russia's doorstep and recreate Ukraine in Victoria Nuland's image.

I am terribly sorry if that conflicts with some deeply held world views on here, but it's just the way it is

Also a lot of Russian nationals in Israel, who tend to support Bibi.

Thanks for posting evidence Russia and Hamas are working together.

Why would Hamas provide evidence of where they receive weapons? They wouldn't. But Russia certainly wants to push that kind of propaganda out.

If Hamas posted that material, and in reality they probably didn't because Sprinter99800 is a known Russian propaganda account, then Hamas is working with Russia.

Thanks for sharing that information.

You might want to tell your boss in St. Petersburg that you just made a mistake.

"“Russia has contacts with Hamas, maybe this information was received from them – we would also be interested to know,” the ambassador said."

Your source is from a pro-Kremlin fake news aggregator based in New Delhi, India, pretending to be United Press International (UPI). Extremely dishonest.

We invited senior HAMAS to DC?

A high-level Hamas delegation travelled to Moscow twice last year to meet with Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov.

They promised Russia that they would "work to weaken the West"

Yeah, because Russia has actual intelligence networks

Its Russians trying to push their BS propaganda

Russian propaganda channel RT Arabic asked the Israel's IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee about "Ukraine providing Western weaponry to Hamas" several times.

Lt. Colonel Adraee replied: "I do not comment on such fabrications and lies.”

What the Russian Media wrote, for the convenience of the readers:

"Ben Zvi was asked to comment on allegations against Russia on social media and by a number of news outlets that it may have been involved in the attack and that the situation in Gaza is beneficial to Moscow, as it supposedly draws Washington’s attention away from Ukraine. The ambassador responded by calling the allegations “complete nonsense.” “Firstly, we do not believe that Russia was involved in this in any way,” Ben Zvi said. “Secondly, those who believe that the United States will have to redirect some serious resources to Israel are greatly mistaken,” he added, noting that the US is a strategic partner and will continue to supply it with weapons.

“Russia understands this. So all the aforementioned claims are pure conspiracy,” the ambassador said.

Ben Zvi also commented on claims that the Hamas militants who attacked Israel on Saturday were using Western-made weapons that came from Ukraine. “We have no evidence for such statements,” he said, claiming that the allegations came from the Russian side.

“Russia has contacts with Hamas, maybe this information was received from them – we would also be interested to know,” the ambassador said.

Apparently you forgot to read the part where the Ambassador said that Hamas was using weapons that came from Ukraine.

Russia has intelligence networks, but lacks actual intelligence.

That's a clever Russian spin on the Ambassador's statement.

What will you say when whatever western weapons Hamas had turn out to be weapons the Russians captured from the Ukrainians?

You are posting Russian sources, so why are you surprised that the discussion includes comments about the fact that the sources you are citing are Russian?

Why do you post so much material from Russian sources?
