Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Lior Haiat demanded that Russia rescind its invitation to Hamas officials to Moscow.
"Hamas is a terror organization that is worse than ISIS. The hands of senior Hamas officials are stained with the blood of over 1400 Israelis who were slaughtered, murdered, executed and burned. They are responsible for the kidnapping of over 220 Israelis, including babies, children, women and the elderly," Haiat wrote on X.
"Israel condemns the invitation of senior Hamas officials to Moscow, which is an act of support of terrorism, and legitimizes the atrocities of Hamas terrorists. We call on the Russian government to expel the Hamas terrorists immediately."
