Jerusalem: Russia and Iran are reportedly trying to profit from the Hamas-Israel war. It is observed that despite visiting Russia more than twelve times this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin was not ready to contact Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Putin called Benjamin on the phone yesterday to inquire regarding the October 7 attack. Putin told Netanyahu that he is in contact with the leaders of Gaza and Palestine. Putin informed Benjamin that he was trying to resolve the issue and was moving to release the hostages. But there are reports that Netanyahu is not satisfied with Putin’s response. Despite describing Israel as a close friend, Putin was ready to contact Russia 9 days following the attack.
Israel is concerned regarding Russia’s deepening ties with Iran. Israel suspects that both countries are trying to gain from the war with Hamas. If the war between Hamas and Israel escalates, fuel prices will rise and this will benefit Iran and Russia financially. Ann Marie Daley, a researcher at the RAND Corporation, pointed out that Putin might use this money for the war once morest Ukraine. The goal of both countries is to prevent the United States from increasing its influence in the Middle East. Russia also believes that if the US focuses on Israel, it will reduce arms supply to Ukraine.
At the same time, it is clear that the US will intervene directly if Hezbollah declares war on Israel. If that happens, things will get out of hand. Russia and Iran do not want that. Therefore, both countries aim to keep the Hamas-Israeli conflict under control, according to the Bloomberg report.
