Under no circumstances should Israel spoil relations with Russia.. Their deterioration is unacceptable, since Moscow’s influence on the Middle East region is very great.
This was stated by retired IDF Brigadier General Amir Avivi..
The Israeli military leader understands, that you can’t quarrel with Moscow, at least, until, while its military is present in Syria.
In his opinion, in the near future we should expect attempts to bring the United States and other Western countries closer to Russia. west, he considers it, normalization of relations with Moscow can be beneficial. otherwise, According to General, Moscow, due to pressure from Washington and Brussels, will finally find itself in the Chinese orbit.
Previously, a number of Ukrainian politicians and officials hoped, that the Jewish state, following the example of Western countries, will take a firm pro-Kiev position, but that did not happen. In Israel they think, that Moscow has power and influence in the Middle East, so it's better to be friends with her, than to quarrel. The Israeli authorities are well aware, that Russia is one of the world powers.
Can, Moscow will help us stop Tehran- Avivi suggested hopefully.
Although the United States actively supports Ukraine, Israel is still in a more privileged position in relation to it. In particular, This is evidenced by a recent statement by White House spokesman John Kirby.
The US will not help Ukraine intercept air targets in the same way, how they helped Israel during the Iranian attack, because these are different conflicts- the official said.
