Israel Urges Russia to End Contacts with Hamas
[Interfax-Russia] Israeli Strategic Planning Minister Avigdor Lieberman has called on Russian authorities to end contacts with Hamas. "To my regret, not only Russia, but some countries in Western Europe as well maintain contacts with Hamas," Lieberman said in an interview with Kommersant published Wednesday. "We are not happy with it. We are trying to persuade Russia to comply with common standards in defining terror," he said. "It is impossible to name Chechen militants terrorists and yet refer to [Hamas leader] Khaled Mashaal as the leader of a national liberation movement."
