“The further this massacre continues, the less chance there is to save and rescue the hostages, which is what we are also doing and have been doing, and want to continue to do,” RIA Novosti quotes the diplomat.
At the same time, he expressed regret that the Israeli army continues to fight and noted that this is “obviously” happening with the support of the United States.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the US veto on the Gaza resolution indicated their true attitude towards people.
Also, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that no pressure could stop the country from its determination to win a complete victory over the Palestinian Hamas movement.
