Russia expresses its most serious concern at the sharp aggravation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Saturday.

"We call on the Palestinian and Israeli sides to implement an immediate ceasefire, renounce violence, exercise the necessary restraint and establish, with the assistance of the international community, a negotiation process aimed at establishing a comprehensive, lasting and long-awaited peace in the Middle East," she said in a statement.

A gift to Putin on his birthday from Iran and Hamas.

"We call on the Palestinian and Israeli sides to implement an immediate ceasefire, renounce violence, exercise the necessary restraint and establish, with the assistance of the international community, a negotiation process aimed at establishing a comprehensive, lasting and long-awaited peace in the Middle East,"

Russia "Do as we say not as we do!"

[MNJohnnie]

Dude this whole article is about Russian statement on the Israel-Hamas situation

I will leave it up to you to figure out why you are knee jerk rushing around posting deflection attacks on everyone else when the word Russia pops up

[JoSixChip]

It’s got nothing to do with Russia you lying POS.

[marcusmaximus]

This Iran?

[piytar]

Gee wonder why Russia wants a cease fire before Israel counter-strikes. It is just baffling. /heavy sarcasm

[marcusmaximus]

Tell your Putin to stop arming Hamas and Hezbollah and also to leave Ukraine.

[JoSixChip]

Tell your Putin to stop arming Hamas and Hezbollah and also to leave Ukraine.

You stupid POS, we're the ones that armed them.

[USA-FRANCE]

Russia has always supported Hezbollah and Hamas.
It’s a well-know fact.
Kremlin probably got inspired by those terror organizations when it decided to engage in endless terrorist attacks against Ukraine.

Russia and Israel have maintained normalized relations despite pressure on Israel to condemn Russia and join in international sanctions. As a matter of fact, Zelensky has been very harsh in his criticism of Israel refusing to isolate Russia

As I said earlier, I will leave it to others to decide why the focus here is on Russia instead of Iran.

[tlozo]

Dude, Russia has absolutely squat to do with this.

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"

[marcusmaximus]

Tell Russia to condemn Hamas’ terrorist attack and give 100% support to Israel.

[hcmama]

This was the first official reaction from the US Government:

[GSWarrior]

I know why. Can’t let the Ukraine funding dry up now can we.
