A Hamas attack on Israel is undoubtedly beneficial to Russia, as this situation can divert the West’s attention from the war in Ukraine and shift it to events in the Middle East. This opinion was expressed by the Israeli journalist Serhii Auslender.
“I have no information whether Russia is behind this attack by Hamas on Israel, but there is no doubt that it benefits them. Because this is the kind of turmoil in the Middle East, and now there is the potential for this to escalate into an even greater escalation, for It is definitely beneficial for the Russian Federation. That is, to divert the attention of the West from Ukraine and switch it to the Middle East, to Israel,” he said on the air of the TV channel “Espresso“.
Auslander also added that Iran cannot be written off. He noted that there were discussions in Israel about the date of signing a peace treaty with Saudi Arabia, and this would be a “fantastic breakthrough.”
According to him, the Iranian factor cannot be discounted in this situation.
“And it is very disadvantageous for Iran. In addition, Iran and Russia can no longer be considered separately from each other,” the Israeli journalist summed up.
