After Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's meeting with Hamas Leader Khaled Meshaal in Syria, "Israel" expressed "deep disappointment".

In a statement published Thursday over this event, the "Israeli" Foreign Ministry claimed that "Hamas is a terror organization whose declared goal is the destruction of the state of Israel", adding that "Israel" expected Russia to stand by its struggle against Hamas.

"Israel has always stood by Russia in its struggle against the Chechnyan terrorism. We expect the same attitude when we are talking about the Hamas terrorism against Israel", the statement claimed.

During his visit to Syria last Tuesday, Russian President met Hamas' Meshaal, where according to Russia Today, he called upon Palestinian reconciliations.
