“Russia's decision to publicly accuse Israel of destabilizing the prospects for peace in the Middle East and indirectly threaten Israel with “dangerous consequences” demonstrates Russia's growing willingness to publicly align itself with Iran amid deepening Russian-Iranian military cooperation.”— they note in ISW.
The Kremlin has strengthened its anti-Israeli stance amid the liquidation of Haniyeh – ISW. Putin has increasingly expressed an anti-Israeli stance and justified Iran’s aggression against Jerusalem.
The Russian authorities traditionally make strange statements.
Russian dictator Putin has increasingly expressed anti-Israeli positions and strengthened his justification for Iranian aggression.
Experts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) came to this conclusion after analyzing statements by Russian authorities regarding the assassination of Hamas Politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Israel carried out the strike that killed Haniyeh in Tehran in order to disrupt attempts to establish peace in the Middle East.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also “strongly condemned” Haniyeh’s murder and stressed that it occurred during his visit to Tehran for the inauguration of President Masoud Pezeshkian. Although the Russian Foreign Ministry did not directly blame Israel, it said that “the organizers of this political murder” were aware of the “dangerous consequences” for the entire region.
ISW notes that Russia's decision to publicly accuse Israel of destabilizing peace prospects in the Middle East and indirectly threaten Israel with “dangerous consequences” demonstrates Russia's growing willingness to publicly align itself with Iran amid deepening Russian-Iranian military cooperation.
Analysts also emphasize that Putin has significantly stepped up information operations aimed at justifying Iranian aggression against Israel.
