Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to exclude Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, from the list of leaders who received his congratulations on the occasion of the new year, according to the Israeli "12" channel.
Putin's decision comes in light of the escalation of tensions between the two leaders, especially after the Israeli escalation in the Gaza Strip, and Moscow hosts a delegation from the Hamas movement that Israel is seeking to eliminate.
The Russian president sent congratulations to more than 30 leader and political figures around the world, but for the first time in his states, he decided to exclude Netanyahu from this regulation.
This procedure comes after a 50 -minute "sharp" phone call between the two leaders 3 weeks ago, in which Putin described the Israeli army attacks on Gaza as a "massacre."
