Israel has accused Russia of betrayal after President Vladimir Putin said he’d invite Hamas leaders to Moscow following the militant group’s victory in Palestinian elections. One Israeli minister Meir Sheetrit said Mr. Putin has stabbed Israel in the back. Criticism echoed by the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Dan Gillerman. "I do wonder what President Putin would feel like if any government in the world would invite Chechen leaders to discuss with them, their behavior or their activities, and this I believe on the part of Russia and on the part of President Putin is a very unfortunate development which runs the risk of legitimizing terror. "The French Foreign Ministry has indicated its support for Russia’s position saying the initiative could help achieve the objective of a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians.
