Galloway visited Moscow after receiving Hamas award in Iran
George Galloway attended Moscow's Victory Day celebrations after receiving an award in Iran honoring a deceased Hamas leader, drawing criticism. Galloway, leader of the Workers Party of Britain, collected the "Martyr Ismail Haniyeh" award in Tehran, praising the Hamas leader. He then traveled to Russia to witness the military parade, which he described as "moving." The award was presented at an Iranian media festival for Galloway's support of Palestine. The visit follows heightened tensions between Iran and the UK, and has been criticized by some as insensitive.
