The Russia-Hamas link. Putin's stalled invasion of Ukraine, Russia had agreed to help Hamas, with the strategic purpose of opening up a costly second front for Western states supporting Ukraine.
The evidence not only documents Russia’s long-term political support of Hamas, which it does not recognize as a terrorist group, but the meetings with Hamas & Iran also offer circumstantial evidence of engagement on the military side, as reflected by the suggestive timing of the March 16 Moscow meetings with Hamas convened by the Kremlin, & Shoigu’s meeting with Iran just ahead of the Hamas attack.
Use of Russian proxies to assist Hamas.
Did the Russian government through proxies — Iran, Syria— provide weapons, military training, financial support, terrorist finance facilitation, or the provision of intelligence and/or strategic or tactical advice to Hamas ahead of its brutal Oct.7 terrorist attack on Putin's birthday? Implicit or explicit approval for the attack before it occurred?
