Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently dispatched his military secretary, Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman, to Moscow for a series of high-level security and diplomatic meetings aimed at strengthening coordination between Israel and Russia while safeguarding Israeli security interests, Ynet learned on Saturday.
Another key objective of the visit was to urge Russia to pressure Hamas—through mediators—to advance negotiations for a hostage deal. Among the captives is Maxim Herkin, who holds Russian citizenship.
