Russia slams Israeli attacks on Gaza as ‘collective punishment' of civilians
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday slammed Israeli attacks on Gaza as 'collective punishment of the civilian population,' in some of Moscow's strongest criticism of Israel as it steps up its offensive.
Lavrov said 'measures taken by Israel' in response to the October 7 attack by Hamas 'constitute collective punishment of the civilian population,' calling what was happening in Gaza 'incomprehensible and indescribable.'
