Let's be honest, praise from Hamas is like a medal for the worst Halloween costume.
Vladimir Putin, obviously, decided to reach a new level of “great diplomacy”, since now his words cause delight among terrorists.
Quote — “RIA Novosti: Palestinian movement Hamas appreciates Russian President Vladimir Putin's condemnation of Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip“.
Russian media December 29, 2024 proudly posted information What Hamas Politburo member Basem Naimwhose organization is responsible for the murders of more than 1,000 Israelis and the kidnapping of hundreds of civilians (including Russian citizens), said that Russian President's criticism of Israel 'deserves high praise'.
“Russia has historically been one of the states friendly to the Palestinian people, which has always supported the legitimate rights of the Palestinians. This statement by President Putin is a confirmation of continued support and new impetus internationally for a just Palestinian position,” Naeem said.
And the Russian media hastened to turn this “recognition” into a new reason for pride.
They're talking about how to be on a straight line Putin saidWhat “Israel’s goals in the Gaza Strip are unknown, but Tel Aviv’s actions deserve only condemnation.”
So, what is this: another diplomatic failure, an absurdity, or a targeted strategy of Russia, which every day is getting closer and closer to the world's outcasts?
“Friends” of Russia: pride in the praise of terrorists
Let's be honest, praise from Hamas is like a medal for the worst Halloween costume. But the Kremlin seems to have decided that “international recognition” should come not from civilized countries, but from those who destroy civilians.
Here are some “proud” moments of Russian-Palestinian “friendliness”:
- October 7, 2023: Hamas kills more than 1,100 people in Israel and kidnaps many, including Russian citizens. Russia, instead of condemning terrorists, continues to host their delegations.
- March 2024: Hamas leader Ismail Haniyya congratulates Putin on his election victory, expressing hope for “strengthening ties of friendship.”
- December 2024: Basem Naim says Putin's statements against Israel “deserve respect.”
Absurdity at maximum speed: Russia and Hamas after October 7
After the Black Saturday attacks, when Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,000 Israelis, including Russian citizens, any reasonable person would have expected strong condemnation. But Russia seems to believe that terrorists are a “valuable partner.”
- The Russian Foreign Ministry continues to maintain regular contacts with Hamas.
- In the State Duma, Israel’s statements about the right to self-defense are called “aggression.”
- And Putin, apparently, does not see a problem with the fact that he is supported by terrorists.
As they say, “everything is going according to plan”.
Why does Russia benefit from war in Israel?
Supporting Hamas for Russia is not only absurd, but also a well-thought-out tactic.
- Distracting attention from Ukraine: While the world is discussing Gaza, Russian aggression in Ukraine fades into the background.
- Reduction in aid to Ukraine: The US and EU are forced to reallocate resources to support Israel.
- Strengthening positions among the enemies of the West: Moscow is trying to become the “leader” for all the outcasts, from Iran to Hamas.
But in the end, all this only emphasizes the crisis in Russian foreign policy.
Table: “Pride” of Russia in numbers
| Event | Russian Federation reaction |
|---|---|
| Hamas attack October 7, 2023 | The Russian Foreign Ministry continues contacts with terrorists. |
| Release of Russian citizens from captivity | Russia takes credit for this without condemning Hamas. |
| Criticism of Israel | Putin condemns Tel Aviv's actions without noticing terrorism. |
What does this mean for Israel and Ukraine?
For Israel and Ukraine, the Russian position is a direct challenge.
- For Israel: Supporting terrorists means threatening the security of the entire country.
- For Ukraine: Russia is using chaos in the Middle East to weaken Western attention.
But in this context, strengthening ties between Israel and Ukraine becomes even more important. NAnews Russia is proud to praise terrorists, but in the eyes of the world it looks like a failure. Well we also congratulate both Russian diplomacy and Putin personally, with “high appreciation for their work”! Want to know more about how Russia makes “friends” for itself?
