Russia summons Israeli ambassador for criticizing Lavrov, Moscow’s ties with Hamas
Times of Israel ^ | 2/6/2024 | Reuters

Russia’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday that it had informed Israeli Ambassador Simona Halperin of its “negative reaction” to criticisms of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian policy in the Middle East made by the diplomat.

The Israeli envoy was summoned to the foreign ministry earlier on Tuesday, a day after Russian authorities lashed out over what they called “unacceptable comments” made by the ambassador in an interview with Russian newspaper Kommersant published on Sunday.

Halperin told the paper that Lavrov played down the importance of the Holocaust and and said Russia was too friendly with the Palestinian Islamist terror group Hamas.

If anyone believes that Russia was “surprised” by the Oct t attack, I have a bridge to sell you.

Iranian and Hamas representatives were in Moscow 6 months, before.

Planning for the attack must have been completed and training ongoing.

There is no way Iran and Hamas would have done something of this magnitude and consequence without informing Putin and Lavrov and receiving their blessing.

Plausible. Bad men take advantage of idiots.

Don’t forget there would have been no Putin/Hamas cooperation, and for that matter no October 7th attack, had they not stolen the election.

Iran has been supplying Putin’s forces with varieties of weapons for at least the last year. They aren’t doing that just for Rubles. Russian support for Arabs against Israel goes back to 1956.

Possibly no attack, but the Soviets, then Russia have a long history of cooperation with the “Palestinians” and other radical islamists.

Agreed.

But stolen elections have history-changing consequences.
