Russia Will "Pay The Price" For Supporting Gaza: Israeli Official

"We're going to finish this war. We're going to win because we're stronger. After this, Russia will pay the price. Believe me, Russia will pay the price," Weitmann, the head of the libertarian caucus in Israel's ruling Likud Party, told the RT news anchor.

"Russia is supporting the enemies of Israel, Russia is supporting Nazi people who want to commit genocide on us, and Russia will pay the price [...]. We are going to finish with these Nazis, we're going to win this war [...] we're not forgetting what you are doing [...] we will come, we will make sure that Ukraine wins, we will make sure that you pay the price for what you have done," the close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continued.

Since the start of the Gaza-Israel war, the Russian government has continuously called for a peaceful resolution. This week, the nation drafted a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. However, Israel's western allies struck it down.

As the Israeli bombing campaign against millions of Palestinian civilians escalates, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that the siege of Gaza is reminiscent of the Leningrad siege by Nazi Germany.

Weitmann's unhinged accusations follow in the footsteps of other wild claims made by current and former Israeli officials. When asked last week during a TV interview about the suffering faced by Palestinians in Gaza, former prime minister Naftali Bennett lashed out at the interviewer and repeated the claim that Palestinian fighters are "Nazis."

"Are you seriously going to keep asking me about Palestinian civilians? What is wrong with you? Have you not seen what's happened? We're fighting Nazis," the former premier shouted. "Shame on you," Bennett continued, interrupting and accusing the anchor of "spinning a narrative" in favor of the Palestinians.
