Putin accused of forming ‘axis of terror’ after inviting Hamas and Iran leaders to Moscow

Russia has been condemned for rolling out the red carpet in Moscow for senior leaders of Hamas and Iran — which one alarmed expert called proof President Vladimir Putin is forming a new “axis of terror against the West.”

Russian Foreign Ministry officials met with Hamas leaders Bassem Naeem and Mousa Abu Marzouk in Moscow on Thursday, just weeks after their terror group stormed Israel and slaughtered at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians.

The terrorist leaders posed with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, Putin’s special envoy in the Middle East — who also met Thursday with Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Ali Bagheri Kani.

The Iranian official also had his own talks with Hamas’ Marzouk while both were guests in Moscow, the Russian state news agency TASS reported Friday.

Hamas later praised Putin — who is currently waging war on Ukraine — for his “stance” on its war of terror on Israel.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Hamas delegation had met with representatives of Russia’s foreign ministry but not with Putin or members of his administration.

So where is Putin anyway...he hasn't been seen for over a week.

Senior Hamas officials Bassem Naim and Moussa Abu Marzouk, and Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov met for talks in Moscow Thursday, sparking outrage in Israel.

And we still have people telling us Putin is a great “Christian leader”?

Or comparing pos Russia favorably to the United States?

Or how about when they thought Ukraine, not Russia, was arming Hamas?

To many clear thinkers the real axis of evil begins with Washington DC and London. Thank goodness, and due to their belligerence, they can no longer attract lackey nations.

There are roughly 200 hostages in Gaza including a number of Russian citizens.

Russia seems well positioned to negotiate their release, which is in everyone’s interest.

Yeah, we get it. You hate America and Britain but love Russia and Iran.

"Russia seems well positioned to negotiate their release"

...Since, like in Ukraine, Russia managed the hostage taking? Hardly grounds for letting Russia negotiate anything!

Russia is the leading international terrorist nation

Russia's foreign policy consists of supporting terrorism and conducting terrorism -as evidenced by their Vengeance Weapons

Why not propose a nation which wasn't involved in the hostage taking, like North Korea?

Because Israel has fought a war for 75 years and has not achieved victory.
