Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced Israel’s “dissatisfaction” to President Vladimir Putin over Russia’s vote in favour of a UN Security Council resolution calling for a Gaza ceasefire, AFP reports.

“The prime minister expressed his dissatisfaction with the positions expressed against Israel by Russian representatives at the UN and in other forums” when he spoke with Putin, Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.

“Any country that had been struck with a criminal terrorist assault such as Israel experienced would have reacted with no less force than Israel is using,” he told Putin.
