Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman quit the UK and moved to Israel a week before Hamas militants began their attack on the country, prompting him to flee to Moscow.

“A week ago I moved to Israel,” Fridman said Monday by phone to Bloomberg. “Now I’ve flown to Moscow because of the current situation. When everything settles down, I plan to return to Israel and live there permanently.”
