Russia expressed dismay at the Israeli ambassador’s statement that evacuating Russian citizens from the Gaza Strip might take up to two weeks.
Israel’s envoy in Moscow mentioned a daily evacuation rate of 500-600 people and 7,000 awaiting evacuation.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, called the logic behind this timeline unacceptable, emphasizing that Russia had followed all required procedures for submitting evacuation lists.
Over 500 Russian citizens are reportedly awaiting evacuation, with no public confirmation of any having left since the Rafah checkpoint reopened on Nov. 1. Russian President Vladimir Putin has criticized the West for escalating tensions in the region and Israel’s conduct in the conflict.
The conflict began over a month ago when Hamas militants entered Israel, resulting in casualties and hostage situations.
Israel responded with a campaign to destroy Hamas, leading to a significant number of casualties, including civilians and children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip.
Citizens from the U.S., France, Britain, and Canada have already been evacuated from Gaza.
