Russia offers to bail out cash-poor Hamas government
http://www.cbc.ca/storyview/MSN/world/national/2006/04/15/russia-060415.html

Russia has offered to bail out Palestine's financially troubled Hamas government, raising the spectre of a confrontation with the United States and the European Union.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Saturday that Moscow was willing to provide immediate aid, an offer that was gratefully accepted by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Lavrov criticized the boycott by the West of the Palestinian government, saying such boycotts would destabilize the region even more.
