Russia is behind Hamas attacks - ombudsman
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Korrespondent] Verkhovna Rada
The Ombudsman noted that members of this group are received in Moscow at a high level. “The last visit of Hamas representatives to the aggressor country took place after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine,” he said. Lubinets drew parallels between Hamas and Iran, which is Russia's strategic partner. In his opinion, Moscow hopes that an attack on Israel will temporarily distract the world’s attention from the Russian-Ukrainian war. “The Kremlin also hopes for weakening support for Ukraine from partners, in particular the United States. After all, Washington has direct allied obligations to Israel,” the ombudsman noted. Lubinets called on the entire civilized world to strike a blow at Russia's plans and repel the common evil - aggression and terrorism. “Ukraine, Israel and the world have common enemies,” he added. Germany and France said they were strengthening security at Jewish synagogues, schools and monuments in their territories. The number of Israelis killed in the Hamas attack has risen to 250. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to use the "full power" of Israeli armed forces to destroy Hamas.
