Russia tells Hamas to release hostages
World Israel News ^ | 11/12/23

Posted on 12/12/2023 3:51:00 AM PST by Eleutheria5

After consultations with Palestinian Authority leaders and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Russia is called on the Hamas terrorist organization to release hostages taken from Israel on October 7th.

According to Russia’s state-owned TASS news agency, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov met on Monday with representatives of Hamas and other Palestinian groups and reportedly discussed freeing hostages.

After speaking with Deputy Chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau Moussa Abu Marzouk, Secretary General of the Palestinian Democratic Union Saleh Rafat, and senior Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine official Maher Taher, Mikhail Bogdanov released a statement about the meeting.

“During the conversations, a set of issues related to the sharp escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict was discussed, with an emphasis on the emerging military and humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.”

He continued, “At the same time, the Russian side confirmed the principled position on the need for a cessation of hostilities and an immediate solution to all emerging humanitarian problems, including the release of hostages.”

Putin wanted a diversion from international attention on Ukraine. So he met with Hamas, gave them plenty of kit, pronounced publicly that "Israel has no right to defend itself," and now he wants to pose as the good guy. Too little too late, by hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and Russian soldiers, and upwards of 1,200 Israelis, and an indeterminate number of Ghazan civilians (the official figures by Hamas are fake). Roast in hell, Vlad.

Russia calling for hostages to be released?

Would that be the same Russia that kidnapped 100,000 Ukrainian kids and took them back to Russia?

Or maybe Deputy FM Bogdanov simply found the Palis, at least these Palis, are simply insufferable...

“Peace won’t come to Gaza until he is captured or eliminated.”

no. peace comes thru encountering Jesus, then you have peace in midst of whatever going on. eliminating one man or all of Gaza may feel good but that isn’t and won’t bring true peace.

“100,000 Ukrainian kids”

What is the source of your number?

I do not believe it is credible.

You beat me to it.

Asked the same question.

I am confident it is pure propaganda.

“No; something else happened; Bibi spoke with hm for about 50 minutes; amazing really.”

No surprise, they’re likely good friends, as Israel and modern-day Russia have been very close, until to Oct. 7th (something the Russia-haters would prefer you don’t know).

My guess is that Hamas wants to end the Israeli operation (to keep from getting fully wiped out) and Russia calling for Hamas to give up their hostages MAY give them a face-saving way to do so, as they can claim that they’re working with Russia for peace.

In any case, we shall see - Russia calling for the release of hostages is a big deal (in my opinion), something that Hamas cannot simply ignore. The question now is whether Israel will stop their operation if the hostages do get released.

Does the number matter? Are you that petty?

If Russia kidnaps even 1 Ukrainian child, that’s a war crime

That’s why there’s International War Crimes Arrest Warrants out for Putin and his cronies

link please.

I'd rather see a link to 200,000 or so Ukey parents bitching and moaning about their abducted children. There should be daily rantings from these people all over the internet. I'm struggling to recall a single posting in the DailyMail or Newsweak or the NYTimes (same same). All we get is the propo from 2 years ago from the canuck. I've yet to hear UberZ even mention it. I've yet to hear a single word of this from our elected officials regarding this. Not.One.Word.

What’s really funny is that they WANT us to think that Russia is sending in commando units to extract kids from Ukrainian-controlled territory, when the actual situation is that the kids are in Russian occupied areas, which are now part of Russia (and will be internationally recognized as such if Ukraine wants to remain being a country).

Oh please. Ukraine is well known all over the world for major child trafficking.

Quit deceiving people.

No. Capturing, prosecuting and imprisoning this demon allows him to continue to exist on this earth. IDF or Mossad should arrange immediately for him to be judged by God for his deeds in this life. Otherwise, he becomes a negotiating chip for release during any future peace talks.

When Russia liberated the Eastern provinces, the children of Russian nationals were located away from the war zone to safety. Your links are typical of the screeching propaganda you have been pushing, successfully, for two years.
