A prominent member of the Israeli Likud party on Thursday lashed out at an RT host on live television, telling him that "Russia will pay the price" for its alleged support of Hamas and other proxies.

"I understand you're on the Russian payroll and I understand this is Russian propaganda, but you have to be very careful because let me tell you, 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," he told RT.

Accusing Russia of allegedly "supporting the genocide of the Jews in Israel," he proceeds: "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."

During a summit in Kyrgyzstan on October 13, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned "Israel" against implementing a siege on Gaza reminiscent of the Leningrad siege by Nazi Germany.

He also expressed concerns that a ground offensive in Gaza would result in an unacceptably high number of civilian casualties.

On a similar note, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov cautioned on Thursday against placing blame solely on Iran and found such accusations provocative.

He believed that Iran's leadership was advocating for a responsible and balanced approach to prevent the conflict from spreading to neighboring countries and the wider region.
