Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday and voiced displeasure with "anti-Israel positions" taken by Moscow's envoys at the United Nations and in other forums, a statement from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office said.
Russia backed a UN Security Council resolution for a Gaza truce, which was vetoed by the United States on Friday.
Speaking to Putin, Netanyahu also voiced "sharp criticism" of Russia's "dangerous" cooperation with Iran.
However, the statement added that Netanyahu expressed his appreciation of Russia's efforts to release an Israeli citizen with Russian citizenship and said Israel would use all means, diplomatic and military alike, to free all Israeli hostages.
"The Prime Minister also requested that Russia apply pressure on the Red Cross regarding visits and the delivery of medicines for our hostages," according to the statement.
