The Governor will accept there is very little difference between what Russia did and what Israel did. In fact, there is no difference.

What is worse in the whole Gaza effort is that there is no national army, there is a terrorist organisation, which is fighting against a really well-equipped army, but no effort being made to protect the innocent civilians in that process. Therefore, there is no difference between what Russia did and what Israel did. Would Mr. Makhlouf not accept that there is a need for further discussions on this issue at a European level?
